Firefox Enterprise Policy Deployment Guide
To deploy Firefox Enterprise Policies via the policies.json file across Windows, macOS and Linux, follow these steps:
First use your Policy Creation Toolkit to build your Enterprise Policy.
Windows
- Save the file:
C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\distribution - Ensure the folder structure matches what you need for your policies.
- Restart Firefox to apply the new policies.
macOS
- Save the file:
/Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/Resources/distribution - Restart Firefox or log out and back into your macOS session for changes to take effect.
Linux
- Save the file:
/etc/firefox/policies/policies.json
- Restart Firefox or log out and back into your Linux session for changes to take effect.
Common Considerations
- Permissions: Ensure that the user has sufficient permissions to modify files in these directories.
- Firefox Version: Check the compatibility of policies with your version of Firefox, as some policies may only be available in newer versions.
- Backup: Always back up existing policy files before making changes.
By following these steps, you can successfully deploy enterprise policies for Firefox across multiple operating systems.
