-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.

+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.
