### Extensions
Control the installation, uninstallation and locking of extensions.
-While this policy is not technically deprecated, it is recommended that you use the **[`ExtensionSettings`](#extensionsettings)** policy. It has the same functionality and adds more. It does not support native paths, though, so you'll have to use file:/// URLs.

2. Firefox will not check for updates in the background, though it will check automatically when an update UI is displayed (such as the one in the About dialog). This check will be used to show "Update to version X" in the UI, but will not automatically download the update or prompt the user to update in any other way.
3. The update UI will work as expected, unlike when using DisableAppUpdate.

Preferences that start with the following prefixes are supported:
```
accessibility.
-app.update.* (Firefox 86, Firefox 78.8)
+alerts.* (Firefox 122, Firefox ESR 115.7)
+app.update.* (Firefox 86, Firefox ESR 78.8)
browser.
datareporting.policy.
dom.
`"user"` preferences persist even if the policy is removed, so if you need to remove them, you should use the clear policy.
+You can also set the `Type` starting in Firefox 123 and Firefox ESR 115.8. It can be `number`, `boolean` or `string`. This is especially useful if you are seeing 0 or 1 values being converted to booleans when set as user preferences.
+
See the examples below for more detail.
IMPORTANT: Make sure you're only setting a particular preference using this mechanism and not some other way.
