Post a screenshot of what you have on this page. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/see-active-policies-firefox-enterprise

What security software are you running?

hi jonzn4SUSE , sadly they have disabled screen shots , security software is mcafee

In most cases this is caused by security software that wants to inject itself in the internet connection to be able to monitor your internet traffic. They do this in a way (likely via the Windows Registry) that makes Firefox display this notification.

Note that you can click this "Your browser is being managed by your organization" notification to open about:policies#active to inspect possible policies.

i clicked the message , it took me to about policies page , it states policy name= certificate, policy value=import enterprise root - true , thats in the active portion of the page , the documentation section seems to be a list of common policies that do not have any true / false values beside them

more options

The 'import enterprise root' policy is the policy most commonly used by security software to inject itself as a man-in-the-middle (MITM) to be able to monitor (intercept) your internet connection.

You can contact the support of your security software if you aren't comfortable about this.
