firefox-esr policies.json file question
Hello All,
I am trying to enforce policies on latest firefox-esr installed through .DEB method as detailed in https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/install-firefox-linux and I can launch the firefox from terminal as : > firefox-esr - Also I have removed the snap version of firefox that comes bundled with Ubuntu 22.04 x86_64 distribution.
Questions that I have are :
1. Policy Enforcement I am trying to enforce policies on firefox-esr as per the article https://mozilla.github.io/policy-templates/ and have a rather simple policies.json file stored in the folder /etc/firefox-esr/policies/ - The policies.json file is : {
"policies":{
"PasswordManagerEnabled": false
}
}
However when I check the settings, the password manager is still enabled. - What is the correct path where the policies.json file stored in Ubuntu Linux distributions where firefox-esr package is installed through "Install Firefox .deb package for Debian-based distributions" and for all users ... meaning apply globally ?
2. When I removed the snap version of firefox, this also removed the icon from the quick-launch side bar / Dock Menu of Ubuntu - How do I the firefox-esr application to Ubuntu dock through command line for all users ?

about:policies shows : "The Enterprise Policies service is inactive"
> sudo find / -name "policies.json" shows the file the location : /etc/firefox-esr/policies/
There is no folder by name : /etc/firefox/policies/
I created the folder : /etc/firefox/policies/ , moved the file "policies.json" into the folder /etc/firefox/policies/
Now about:policies shows : Active Policy Name Policy Value PasswordManagerEnabled false
I have also added the config. element : "DisplayMenuBar": "always", "NoDefaultBookmarks": true, "DisplayBookmarksToolbar": "always",
"ManagedBookmarks": [
{
"toplevel_name": "My Bookmarks"
},
{
"name": "My Website",
"url": "https://www.My.com"
},
{
"name": "My Login",
"url": "https://My.domain.com/"
},
{
"name": "My OneClick",
"url": "https://sites.google.com/My.com/intranet/home"
}
],
However the "Getting Started" and "import bookmarks" get displayed in the toolbar"
Is there a possibility to remove these from the toolbar ?
