+**These policies are in active development and so might contain changes that do not work with current versions of Firefox.**
+
+**You should use the [officially released versions](https://github.com/mozilla/policy-templates/releases) if you are deploying changes.**
+
Policies can be specified using the [Group Policy templates on Windows](https://github.com/mozilla/policy-templates/tree/master/windows), [Intune on Windows](https://support.mozilla.org/kb/managing-firefox-intune), [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 or you can specify system-wide policy by placing the file in `/etc/firefox/policies`.
| Policy Name | Description
| **[`ExtensionSettings`](#extensionsettings)** | Manage all aspects of extensions.
| **[`ExtensionUpdate`](#extensionupdate)** | Control extension updates.
| **[`FirefoxHome`](#firefoxhome)** | Customize the Firefox Home page.
-| **[`FlashPlugin`](#flashplugin)** | Configure the default Flash plugin policy as well as origins for which Flash is allowed.
+| **[`FlashPlugin (Deprecated)`](#flashplugin-deprecated)** | Configure the default Flash plugin policy as well as origins for which Flash is allowed.
| **[`Handlers`](#handlers)** | Configure default application handlers.
| **[`HardwareAcceleration`](#hardwareacceleration)** | Control hardware acceleration.
| **[`Homepage`](#homepage)** | Configure the default homepage and how Firefox starts.
Allow WebExtensions to configure policy. For more information, see [Adding policy support to your extension](https://extensionworkshop.com/documentation/enterprise/adding-policy-support-to-your-extension/).
+For GPO and Intune, the extension developer should provide an ADMX file.
