Cannot create bookmarks in Firefox via Firefox GPO
Hi Support, I would like to deploy Firefox bookmark via GPO. I downloaded policy_templates_v1.4 from GitHub and running Firefox Quantum ESR 60.5 (64-Bit) on Windows 10 1703 64bit OS. The GPO template is imported to a client system C:\windows\PolicyDefinitions. I added Bookmarks in the local group policy but Bookmark didn't display when I launched Firefox. Please advise.
Thanks,
Kent Liu

Did you use fully qualified URLs for your bookmarks?
I modified to use FQDN URL but still no luck.
Can you go to about:config and create a string pref called browser.policies.loglevel and set it to "debug"
Then the JS console (Ctrl+Shift+J) should tell us what is going wrong...

any suggestions?
Is it possible that this profile was used on an older version of Firefox and then used on a new version of Firefox?
I test out policy_templates_v1.3 and policy_templates_v1.4 on Firefox 60.2.0.esr (64 bit) but same result.
Sorry, I mean an older version of Firefox, not the template.
This error:
Error: Error(s) encountered during statement execution: no such table: moz_hosts Stack trace: handleCompletion@resource://gre/modules/Sqlite.jsm:807:25
usually happens when I profile has been used on older and newer versions of Firefox.
Can you try this on a fresh Firefox profile?
I ran the command on Firefox and it restarted Firefox. However I still didn't see the bookmarks.
Which command?
My recommendation is to use about:profiles to create a new profile. Then switch to that profile and see if the bookmarks apply.
Thanks for the suggestion. Recreate profile seems to fix the problem. How can I fix the issue in a mass rollout?
Sorry, I don't have a good answer here. This shouldn't be a problem in a mass rollout because this only happens if you upgrade and then downgrade.
We are introducing downgrade protection in Firefox 68 to prevent this in the future.
