Issue Policy ExtensionSettings - Lang pack
Hello,
I'm trying to deploy Firefox with several languages.
I followed the guide on [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/deploying-firefox-language-packs].
Everything work fine until I set up ExtensionSettings policy. This policy hide and block languages menu.
After scratching my head for a while, I finally figured out how to do it. I would to like to know if an easier way to whitelist all locales and dictionaries. I would like to only control the extensions.
<enabled/> <data id="ExtensionSettings" value=' {
"*": {
"blocked_install_message": "Blocked by your administrator.",
"installation_mode": "blocked",
"allowed_types": ["extensions", "dictionary", "locale"]
},
"uBlock0@raymondhill.net": {
"installation_mode": "force_installed",
"install_url": "https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/downloads/latest/ublock-origin/latest.xpi"
},
"qwantcomforfirefox@jetpack": {
"installation_mode": "force_installed", "install_url": "https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/downloads/file/3658805/latest.xpi"
}, "langpack-en-CA@firefox.mozilla.org": {
"installation_mode": "allowed"
}, "langpack-en-GB@firefox.mozilla.org": {
"installation_mode": "allowed"
}, "langpack-en-US@firefox.mozilla.org": {
"installation_mode": "allowed"
}, "langpack-es-AR@firefox.mozilla.org": {
"installation_mode": "allowed"
}, "langpack-es-CL@firefox.mozilla.org": {
"installation_mode": "allowed"
}, "langpack-es-ES@firefox.mozilla.org": {
"installation_mode": "allowed"
}, "langpack-es-MX@firefox.mozilla.org": {
"installation_mode": "allowed"
}, "langpack-fr@firefox.mozilla.org": {
"installation_mode": "allowed"
}, "langpack-pt-BR@firefox.mozilla.org": {
"installation_mode": "allowed"
}, "langpack-pt-PT@firefox.mozilla.org": {
"installation_mode": "allowed"
} }'/>
Thank you

If you remove
"installation_mode": "blocked",
and just set
"allowed_types": ["dictionary", "locale"]
And only specify ublock and qwant, I think you'll get what you want.
All dictionaries and locales are allowed and only the extensions you specify.

That's great!
Thank you Mike, I followed too much the example and misunderstood the documentation about installation_mode and allowed_types.

I think my examples have too much stuff in them :).
