"Your Browser Is Being Managed By Your Organization" suddenly appeared in my Firefox 114 settings page
I've looked into this situation, and none of the solutions submitted online work.
I went to about:preferences, and set "security.certerrors.mitm.auto_enable_enterprise_roots" to false, but "security.enterprise_roots.enabled" is set to true and locked; I can't change it.
First of all, I am not using Avast, AVG, Kapersky, etc. antivirus; I'm using Win 10's built-in security suite, so it's not my antivirus causing it.
To double check that, I opened the Registry and went to " HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Mozilla\Firefox\" and "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Policies\Mozilla\Firefox\", looking for a Mozilla\Firefox\Polices key, and neither one had any Mozilla keys.
I even checked the Autoconfig settings, and found no settings in the JS file that had anything to do with Enterpise Roots (I renamed the file temporarily to disable it), but I still can't disable security.enterprise_roots.enabled
I have no "Organization"; I'm an independent home user, so needless to say I'm concerned that Firefox is suddenly saying some organization is controlling my Firefox.

Yeah. There was a Distribution folder in the C:\Mozilla Firefox folder. I deleted it and the json file in it, and that message is gone now.
I just have no idea how that suddenly got in there. I've always been using Windows 10's own Security Suite, not any other antivirus or internet security software.

The Troubleshooting Information shows that you have: security.enterprise_roots.enabled: TRUE This means that you likely have/had software that wants to inject itself in the internet connection.
You can click the "Your browser is being managed by your organization" notification or open the about:policies page to see if policies are active and if errors are reported.
You can check if you have a distribution folder in the Firefox installation folder with a policies.json file.
