# Firefox `policies.json`

The file is pretty self-explanatory, but I prefer Chromium way of handling
enterprise policies since it allows me to cut them to multiple different files
per whatever I am doing.

## WARNING TO LIBREWOLF USERS
This file takes priority over
`/usr/share/librewolf/distribution/policies.json` so don't apply this or
a lot of LibreWolf specific customizations stops being in force.
## WARNING TO TRR/ENCRYPTED DNS USERS!
If `policies.json` locks DNS over HTTPS, `trr.mode` gets locked into `2` which
means fallback to system resolver.
## Extensions
They are mostly self-explanatory.
### Privacy Badger
2024-02-01 18:48:27 +01:00
- `jid1-MnnxcxisBPnSXQ-eff@jetpack` - Downloaded directly from EFF.
Configured to learn locally and also in incognito as opposed to only relying
on vendor list. Also not display the "Welcome to Privacy Badger screen".

## Search engines

> Policy SearchEngines is only allowed on ESR.
But who cares? Anyway thus DuckDuckGo extension is installed by default so
when testing this policy I won't have to see Google.
Additionally it's a lie since at least Nightly reads it too without
complaining.

## Useful looking things for the future
### Certificate installations
In the `certificates` section
```json
{
"Install": ["my_certificate_here.pem"]
}
```
## Things that look useful, but aren't
### WebSiteFilter
```json
{
"policies": {
"WebsiteFilter": {
"Block": ["<all_urls>"],
"Exceptions": ["http://example.org/*"]
}
}
}
```
Ok, nice, but my policy is already forcing AdNauseam which enforces my
blocklist which is more practical.
Granted users can use private browsing mode to get past it, but I am not
blocking actively malicious domains.
