Wheren can I find a Tutorial for deploying Firefox ESR?
I am a none-techie that wants to use Firefox in a company. We are a growing startup and have serious issues regarding password management:
We have a bunch of passwords that need to be available company-wide but should not be known to our employees. We are looking at Lastpass to solve this. But: Lastpass is of no use, if a user can simply activate password-saving in his browser.
Thus we need a way to prevent users from saving passwords they shouldn't know. And maybe event prevent them from installing other password managers, with which they might be able to grab a password.
Can I do all this with Firefox ESR? And if so, where can I learn how to deploy Firefox as a non-techie?

I think lot of this is going to be outside the scope of this forum.
For instance would it not be better if globally used company passwords gave access to required locations with suitable permissions. ESR has its own mailing list it is probably better to use that as a source of information about deploying ESR.

I 2nd that. This guy knows the most about setting up and customizing Firefox ESR. https://mike.kaply.com/category/mozilla/
Unfortunately the entire concept of Firefox ESR is based around IT professionals who know how to deploy programs for organizations, but need a version of Firefox that doesn't change too often as the Release version does every 6 weeks.
You can lock the signon.rememberSignons pref to false if you want to disable the Firefox Password Manager via a mozilla.cfg file in the Firefox program folder.
//
lockPref("signon.rememberSignons", false);
use a mozilla.cfg file in the Firefox program folder to lock prefs or specify new (default) values.
Place a local-settings.js file in the defaults\pref folder where also the channel-prefs.js file is located to specify using mozilla.cfg.
pref("general.config.filename", "mozilla.cfg");
pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0);
These functions can be used in the mozilla.cfg file:
defaultPref(); // set new default value pref(); // set pref, allow changes in current session lockPref(); // lock pref, disallow changes
