-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`.

Unfortunately, JSON files do not support comments, but you can add extra entries to the JSON to use as comments. You will see an error in about:policies, but the policies will still work properly. For example:
`BehaviorPrivateBrowsing` sets the default behavior for cookies in private browsing based on the values below.
| Value | Description
-| --- | ---
+| --- | --- |
| accept | Accept all cookies
| reject-foreign | Reject third party cookies
| reject | Reject all cookies
xpinstall.signatures.required (Firefox ESR 102.10, Firefox ESR only)
```
as well as the following security preferences:
+
| Preference | Type | Default
-| --- | --- | ---
+| --- | --- | --- |
| security.default_personal_cert | string | Ask Every Time
| If set to Select Automatically, Firefox automatically chooses the default personal certificate.

| security.OCSP.require | boolean | false
| If true, if an OCSP request times out, the connection fails.
+| security.osclientcerts.assume_rsa_pss_support | boolean | true
+| If false, we don't assume an RSA key can do RSA-PSS (Firefox 114, Firefox ESR 102.12).
| security.ssl.enable_ocsp_stapling | boolean | true
| If false, OCSP stapling is not enabled.
| security.ssl.errorReporting.enabled | boolean | true
