Some of the policies were originally only available on the ESR for security reasons. As of Firefox 62, these policies are available outside of the ESR, but only via JSON file or a Local Machine-based Group Policy. User-based Group Policies are not allowed to set values for these policies. The descriptions below mark such policies as "Machine only".
-### Authentication (Machine only)

This policy is for configuring sites that support integrated authentication. See https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Integrated_authentication for more information.
```
{
"BlockAboutSupport": true
}
```
-### DisableSetDesktopBackground
-This policy removes the "Set As Desktop Background..." menuitem when right clicking on an image.
+### Bookmarks
+This policy allows you to specify bookmarks. You can have any number of bookmarks, although only ten are specified in the ADMX file.
+Placement can be specified as either toolbar or menu. If a folder is specified, it is automatically created and bookmarks with the
+same folder name are grouped together.
```
