Trying to block www.share365.net but it's not working

{

 "policies": {
     "WebsiteFilter": {
         "Block": [
           "*:share365.net",
           "*:www.share365.net",

I am going to deploy Firefox ESR in an environment where the default topsites provided by the top-sites.json included in omni.ja (namely Wikipedia, youtube and reddit) are not desirable, and I want to provide my own. I cannot find a way to do so.

Setting the browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.default.sites preference through the policies.json file does not work (the pref gets loaded but it does not influence the actual default topsites, which is not surprising since the default value of this pref has nothing to do with the actual default topsites).

Note that I am not seeking to remove the topsites from the homepage entirely (as would be achieved through the FirefoxHome/TopSites policy), I want to change the default ones.

I tried creating my own top-sites.json in /lib/firefox-esr/browser/ where omni.ja resides, but to no avail.

I am trying to manage Firefox browser for our users with MDM. On doing so, I can't able to get expected output on blocking the camera access for certain websites with the following OMA-URI.

./Device/Vendor/MSFT/Policy/Config/Firefox~Policy~firefox~Permissions~Camera/Camera_Block

I can add websites in allow section and even lock the setting so that the users can't change. But facing issues with blocking camera access.

Is there any place where I can see the log if there are any error encountering by any chance? Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

We have Firefox deployed and managed through Intune/Endpoint and all works well but every device has an error with this line of the policy:

UserMessaging_FirefoxLabs [./Device/Vendor/MSFT/Policy/Config/Firefox~Policy~firefox~UserMessaging/UserMessaging_FirefoxLabs] STATE Error SOURCE PROFILES Source Profile Mozilla_Firefox_Configuration ERROR CODE 0x87d1fde8

The error code is the same on all devices and is the only one present in on each device config.

Does anyone have any idea what the issue and resolution would be?

Thanks, Matt

We are currently considering using Firefox ESR as our default browser but experiencing a few issues and one of them is with our configured SailPoint IdentityIQ Single Sign-On Experience, which uses Basic Authentication.

Issue Description First, the login button needs to be clicked multiple times before access to the site is granted. Once signed in, the Firefox inbuilt authentication dialogue appears, prompting the user to log in again (see the attached screenshot). The landing page is only presented after clicking the login button several times. This creates a poor user experience, sometimes causing pages to load improperly. Interestingly, the same process works seamlessly in Edge Chromium.

Troubleshooting Steps Taken I have already attempted the following: 1. Temporarily disabled all custom and security settings in mozilla.cfg and config.json. 2. Temporarily disabled Firefox Tracking Protection. 3. Allowed third-party cookies for the specific URL. 4. Upgraded Firefox Version to 128.7.0 5. Since our Firefox browser is significantly hardened, I have also enabled and reconfigured the following settings in mozilla.cfg to ensure Basic Authentication is allowed, functions properly, and suppresses Firefox’s authentication prompt, but without success:

network.http.phishy-userpass-length = 255 network.http.use-basic-auth network.automatic-ntlm-auth.allow-non-fqdn network.automatic-ntlm-auth.trusted-uris security.enterprise_roots.enabled security.enterprise_roots.enabled

Observations from SailPoint Team Our colleagues from SailPoint have tested the setup in their environment, and according to them, it works as expected. However, their browser is not hardened, and they have leveraged the SailPoint UI for authentication instead of the built-in Firefox authentication prompt.

Further Investigation • Is there a specific configuration required in the user profile settings? • Network trace analysis shows 404 errors on GET requests and the following error codes on POST requests: • 302 Redirect: Mozilla Documentation • 408 Request Timeout: Mozilla Documentation

Next Steps Is there a specific security setting that needs to be enabled or disabled? Are there any particular Firefox enterprise policies we should modify? I have also attached screenshots for reference. Let me know if you need specific logs or network traces for further troubleshooting.

Hi All, I want to block traffic on firefox externally for managed devices via Intune, following the import of the ADMX/ADML files into intune.

Having read https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/managing-firefox-intune I have set '\Mozilla\Firefox\Exceptions to blocked websites' to the following; //*.mydomain.com/*

Which works, however, I also want to add hosts that are only resolving on IPs and not DNS. I can add specific IPs if known, but is there a way I can allow IP ranges? Ie

//10.10.*/* (this doesn't currently work) Of the included screenshot, only the wildcard for mydomain.com and the specific IP currently work

I've looked over the link that is recommened in the policy (indirectly) and can't see an option for allowing an IP range. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/WebExtensions/Match_patterns

If there is a better way to do this via intune for firefox only, please let me know.

Thanks

Hello community,

i would like to ask about how to deploy security.pki.certificate_transparency.disable_for_hosts globally for users? With version 135 a lot of production webapps stopped working and as of now , we have to do manual modification in about:config. Our company has over 300k users , so the possible disruption might arise very quickly and there will be significant loses in production enviroment.

Is there a way how to deploy this specific setting via GPO/SCCM ?

Thank you

Firefox is used on Windows 11 Enterprise. There is a firefox.cfg in the installation directory (and an autoconfig.js in the ./defaults/pref sub-directory). The firefox.cfg targets an autoconfigfile.js. This setup is recommended here: [firefox using autoconfig"]

1. In the support article´s example, the firefox.cfg uses a pref(); expression. Is it possible to use a lockPref(); expression instead?
2. What is the result of either using pref(); expressions or user_pref(); expressions in the remoted autoconfigfile.js? Are both of them possible, especially while the firefox.cfg uses lockPref(); expressions instead of pref();?

I hope that somesone can help with one of these questions. Thanks a lot!

Hey everyone. I am automating end-to-end testing with playwright for python, using the official Docker image from the microsoft artifact repository (using `playwright/python:v1.49.1`).

As I have signed certificates for my local domains with my own certificate authority, I am trying to have Firefox automatically install the certificates via a policies file. However, Firefox seems to ignore the policies file no matter what.

To ensure that the file itself is used, I simplified it to a single boolean value, and ensured that it's copied correctly inside the container via the `cat` command. Here are the current contents:

{

 "policies": {
   "DisableTelemetry": true

}

I know that the CA certificate is installed correctly, as it works out of the box using the WebKit browser and Curl command. I have gotten it to work in Chromium by installing it to nssdb using `certutil`.

I have converted the file from ASCII to the `utf-8` charset.

The file has the expected content, and I have copied it to both `/etc/firefox/policies/policies.json` and `/ms-playwright/firefox-1466/firefox/distribution/policies.json` (the path to the binary is `/ms-playwright/firefox-1466/firefox/firefox`).

Opening `about:policies` shows the text "The Enterprise Policies service is inactive.", which is sadly not very informative. It would be nice to have a list of locations it looks in, and any problems it encountered.

The container uses Firefox Nightly 132.

Are these locations incorrect? Is there any way to debug this? Does anyone have any other suggestions? If you need any more info (Dockerfile, etc.), please let me know.

Thanks in advance.

Firefox is used on Windows 11 Enterprise. There is a firefox.cfg in the installation directory (and an autoconfig.js in the ./defaults/pref sub-directory). Everything works fine when a pref(...); entry is written to the firefox.cfg. However, we want the firefox.cfg to call the pref(...); entries from a global_config.js which is saved on the machines public directory.

Therefore, the firefox.cfg says:

// free line lockPref("autoadmin.global_config_url","file:///C:/Users/Public/.../global_config.js");

But firefox does not load whatever prefs are written to the global_config.js. There probably is problems with the formatting of the file path (file:///C:/Users/Public/.../global_config.js). What would the correct formatting look like? Unfortunately, Mozilla´s support guide only includes an example code for a firefox.cfg which calls a global_config.js via http:, but not via file:.

Dear Community,

i had .cfg file with following settings to clean up some userdata after closing firefox:

//Clean UP Cache etc. lockPref("privacy.sanitize.sanitizeOnShutdown", true); lockPref("privacy.clearOnShutdown.cache", true); lockPref("privacy.clearOnShutdown.cookies", false); lockPref("privacy.clearOnShutdown.offlineApps", true); lockPref("privacy.clearOnShutdown.sessions", false);

This cleaned the "Storage" Folder in the Firefox Profile folder, but cookies and sessions where remaining, so the logins where active.

Now i saw that all useres have lots of folders in the "Storage/Default" folder. After some research i found out that this behavior startet at 02.10.2024.

I also found a new pref: privacy.clearOnShutdown_v2.cookiesAndStorage which was set to "false". No idea where this key came from? When I set this key to "Yes", the storage is cleared after closing Firefox. But so also all the cookies. Was there a change at the prefs?

And is ther any other solution to clear the Storage but remain the cookies?

Thank you in advance!

Hello,

I would like to create Managed Bookmarks for our company and distribute them via Group Policy. However, I am unable to create subfolders for these Managed Bookmarks, so they would all be in one folder and quite disorganized, which is why I need subfolders. Can I map this using a JSON file, and if so, could someone assist me with the structure of the JSON file?

Thank you in advance!

Kind regards

I have a number of servers which need firefox updating They do not have internet.

There is one machine that does have internet

How do i get them to point to that server for updates?

FF should have an easy deployment console for rolling out their product.

I saw something about an MAR server however its not clear.

We just have WSUS so cant use that to update like Edge.
