Add-on summary
Generates Enterprise Policies for Firefox.
With Firefox 60 and Firefox ESR 60, Mozilla has introduced the so-called Enterprise Policy Engine. The Enterprise Policy Engine allows administrators to configure Firefox via a configuration file. The advantage of this configuration file over Group Policy Objects (GPO) is that this method does not only work on Windows, but cross-platform on Windows, Apple macOS and Linux.
Although this extension is not directly related to the CCK2 Wizard, it shares the same idea as CCK2 Wizard, but it is for Firefox 60 or higher and Enterprise Policies. The Enterprise Policy Generator helps to create the configuration file, so that no in-depth study of the documentation and all possible options is necessary. Administrators can simply click together the desired Enterprise Policies.
Enterprise Policy Generator is a WebExtension and compatible with Firefox Browser 60 and higher (Firefox Browser 68 or higher is required for the latest version of Enterprise Policy Generator).
Features
- simply click together the desired Enterprise Policies
- supports all policies which are supported by Firefox 60
- validation for mandatory fields and URLs
- special marking of policies that only work with Firefox ESR
- info links for some policies to get additional information
- you can save any number of different configurations, load them at a later time (and of course delete them)
- you can also export configurations and import them on other devices
- if a policy requires a newer version than Firefox 60.0 or Firefox ESR 60.0 a notice is displayed
- a filter field allows to search in the descriptions of the policies and in the internal policy names
The interface can be accessed via the toolbar button or the keyboard. For this purpose the combination Shift + F10 is reserved. Or you can open the interface via a menu entry in the tools menu.
