Unable to set multiple ExtensionSettings through imported admx
I am using the intune preview feature which allows you to import admx/adml instead of using the custom injection method. Everything works far better then with the injection method, except for one settings:
ExtensionSettings this setting is working when I have only one setting set (ex):
{"someplugin@test.com": { "installation_mode" : "allowed" }}
If I add a second line to the entry:
{"someotherplugin@test.com":{ "installation_mode" : "allowed"}}
I understand this is a new feature, but if I had the correct format that would work for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Mozilla\Firefox\ExtensionSettings to allow two plugins to work I belive I shouldn't have any issue getting the admx feature to do this, I even tried manually editing the registry setting and it breaks whenever I add the second line to it.

So apparently figured it out.
Would certainly be easier if the entire json could be added to a single entry field, but it seems that microsoft does some formatting/parsing on each line and trying to make multiple lines into a single entry gets mangled. This is working at this time though and can easily add additional entries as needed by adding them in the middle.

I did determine that what needs to be in the registry is:
{ "smartcardbridge@thalesesec.com": { "installation_mode" : "allowed" }, "DWLFirefox@devolutions.net": { "installation_mode" : "allowed" } }
Now to figure out a way to get the intune admx editor to not mutilate this.

Yeah, I'm frustrated about this situation. In the GPO, it's a multiline text field, so I think it should be the same here.
I've reported it to Microsoft.
I'm also updating the GPO to have an additional "one line JSON" field that supports a length > 1024 characters.
