These changes apply to Firefox 152. Where a change also applies to Firefox 140.12 ESR, it will be noted explicitly.

Firefox 140 is the current ESR, and Firefox 153 will be the next ESR release. Organizations using Firefox ESR should begin testing with Firefox Beta or Nightly to identify any deployment issues before the transition.

Mozilla has introduced Firefox Support for Organizations, a new support offering for enterprise deployments of Firefox. For more information, see this blog post.

Bug Fixes

• The DisableProfileImport policy was bypassed by the Import Bookmarks button on the Bookmarks Toolbar. This was fixed in bug 1828282.
