-Policies can either be specified using the Group Policy templates or by creating a file called `policies.json`. On Windows, create a directory called `distribution` where the EXE is located and place the file there. On Mac, the file goes into `Firefox.app/Contents/Resources/distribution`. On Linux, the file goes into `firefox/distribution`, where `firefox` is the installation directory for firefox, which varies by distribution.
+**IMPORTANT**: This file is in active development along with the policies in Firefox. To get the policy information that corresponds to a specific release, go to https://github.com/mozilla/policy-templates/releases.

+Policies can be specified using the Group Policy templates on Windows (https://github.com/mozilla/policy-templates/tree/master/windows), configuration profiles on macOS (https://github.com/mozilla/policy-templates/tree/master/mac), or by creating a file called `policies.json`. On Windows, create a directory called `distribution` where the EXE is located and place the file there. On Mac, the file goes into `Firefox.app/Contents/Resources/distribution`. On Linux, the file goes into `firefox/distribution`, where `firefox` is the installation directory for firefox, which varies by distribution.
The content of the JSON file should look like this:
```
**Note**: though comments are used in this readme file for documentation, comments are not valid in actual JSON files. Remove all comments before attempting to deploy.
-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".
+### AppUpdateURL
+This policy is for changing the URL used for application update
+```
+{
+ "AppUpdateURL": "http://yoursite.com"
+}
+```
+
-### Authentication (Machine only)
+### Authentication
This policy is for configuring sites that support integrated authentication. See https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Integrated_authentication for more information.
```
{
"Authentication": {
"SPNEGO": ["mydomain.com", "https://myotherdomain.com"],
"Delegated": ["mydomain.com", "https://myotherdomain.com"],
- "NTLM": ["mydomain.com", "https://myotherdomain.com"]

+ }
}
}
}
"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.
```

### Certificates
-If this Windows only policy is set to true, Firefox reads certificates from the Windows certificate store.
+This policy can be used to install certificates or to read certificates from the system certificate store on Mac and Windows.
+
+The ImportEnterpriseRoots key will cause Firefox to import 3rd party certificates that have been added by a user administrator from the system certificate store.
+It does not import all certificates. These certificates will not display in the Firefox certificates manager.
+
+The Install Certificates key by default will search for certificates in the locations listed below.
+Starting in Firefox 65 you can specify a fully qualified path including UNC. (See cert3.der and cert4.pem, in example).
+
+**Be advised if you wish to load a certificate from a UNC path you must use double backslahes.**
+Example: \\SERVER\\CERTS\CERT5.PEM
+
+
+If Firefox does not find something at your fully qualified path, it will search the default directories.
+
+Certificates can be located in the following locations:
+- Windows
+ - %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Certificates
+ - %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Certificates
+- macOS
+ - /Library/Application Support/Mozilla/Certificates
+ - ~/Library/Application Support/Mozilla/Certificates
+- Linux
+ - /usr/lib/mozilla/certificates
+ - /usr/lib64/mozilla/certificates
+ - ~/.mozilla/certificates
