Firefox Extension Uninstall/Disable policy not working on windows

Hi,

I am trying to develop a script to control extension management for Firefox on windows. I tried to create policies.json in C:\program files\Mozilla Firefox\distribution { 

 "policies": {
   "Extensions": {
     "Uninstall": ["{63d150c4-394c-4275-bc32-c464e76a891c}","{63d150c4-394c-4275-bc32-c464e76a891c}"]
   }
 }

} This neither gets reflected in about:policies page, nor I see these extensions getting uninstalled/prevented from getting installed again.

I also tried to add extension to registry Software\Policies\Mozilla\Firefox\Extensions\Uninstall\1={63d150c4-394c-4275-bc32-c464e76a891c}, but don't see any impact.

Can someone please give any pointer for above approach not working.

Many Thanks, Gyani
