Why nobody told me about policies.json when I asked this: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1190091 ? Everything I asked is possible by creating a policies.json file. Why do you explain this to enterprises while you tell absolutely nothing to parents who wish to protect the children from harmful content on the Internet ? The usage of the file policies.json is exacly when I wanted in my post https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1190091 , including: -Disable Private Browsing -Disable the "disabling" or removal of any installed add-ons -Disable safe-mode -Disable the installation of VPN and Proxy extensions which would allow children to by-pass my DNS filtering, That's just unbelievable. You give the information to the enterprises and you tell absolutely nothing to parents! This is Wrong.

Back then policies weren't available yet. Policy support got added with Firefox 60 and even then all currently available policies weren't present initially.
