-**IMPORTANT**: **Complete Firefox 68 policies will be released later today.**
-
-**IMPORTANT**: This file is in active development along with the policies in Firefox. Make sure to check the compatibility section to see if a policy is available in a specific version of 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.

| **[`SearchSuggestEnabled`](#searchsuggestenabled)** | Enable search suggestions.
| **[`SSLVersionMax`](#sslversionmax)** | Set and lock the maximum version of TLS.
| **[`SSLVersionMin`](#sslversionmin)** | Set and lock the minimum version of TLS.
+| **[`SupportMenu`](#supportmenu)** | Add a menuitem to the help menu for specifying support information.
| **[`WebsiteFilter`](#websitefilter)** | Block websites from being visited.

### AppUpdateURL
Change the URL for application update.
| `allowed_types` | This setting whitelists the allowed types of extension/apps that can be installed in Firefox. The value is a list of strings, each of which should be one of the following: "extension", "theme", "dictionary", "langpack" This setting can be used only for the default configuration.
| `blocked_install_message` | This maps to a string specifying the error message to display to users if they're blocked from installing an extension. This setting allows you to append text to the generic error message displayed when the extension is blocked. This could be be used to direct users to your help desk, explain why a particular extension is blocked, or something else.
