I am implementing GPO settings on Firefox 62.0. I assume I dont need the ESR version since I did a test setting and it seems to work for modifying the homepage. Can someone confirm?

The other question i have is the ability to let a user install an approved extension. We want to block all extensions besides a list of trusted extensions. The settings in GPO doesn't seem to have this option. There is a setting to "allow add-on installs" but it doesn't let me choose which ones. If I disable "add-on installs" but add the url to the "Extensions to Install," it doesn't work.

If gpo doesn't have this ability, I could use policies.json but i am currently using mozilla.cfg to block addons, lockPref("xpinstall.enabled", false); Can firefox work with both policies.json and mozilla.cfg?

In the end, I don't care which one i use, as long as i can block all extensions and only allow a trusted list of extensions to be installed. I also don't want trusted extensions installed for everyone, just whoever wants it.

Thanks

Kind of. With 62, we were going to make it a machine policy but we accidentally made it work with user/machine. In 63, it will be machine only.

I'll look into your other problem with disabling addon installs and allowing particular extensions. That should work.

Setting the default for extensions to not install is the same as setting xpinstall.enabled to false, so you shouldn't need both.

We've opened a bug to address this.

We'll also be working on whitelisting addons.
