**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`.
+Official policy documentation has been moved to https://mozilla.github.io/policy-templates/.
+
+I'm maintaining things in the README.md until we can update links in Firefox.

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:
| **[`ExtensionSettings`](#extensionsettings)** | Manage all aspects of extensions.
| **[`ExtensionUpdate`](#extensionupdate)** | Control extension updates.
| **[`FirefoxHome`](#firefoxhome)** | Customize the Firefox Home page.
-| **[`FlashPlugin (Deprecated)`](#flashplugin-deprecated)** | Configure the default Flash plugin policy as well as origins for which Flash is allowed.
| **[`GoToIntranetSiteForSingleWordEntryInAddressBar`](#gotointranetsiteforsinglewordentryinaddressbar)** | Force direct intranet site navigation instead of searching when typing single word entries in the address bar.
| **[`Handlers`](#handlers)** | Configure default application handlers.
| **[`HardwareAcceleration`](#hardwareacceleration)** | Control hardware acceleration.
`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
| `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. This setting can be used only for the default configuration.
| `restricted_domains` | An array of domains on which content scripts can't be run. This setting can be used only for the default configuration.
| `updates_disabled` | (Firefox 89, Firefox ESR 78.11) Boolean that indicates whether or not to disable automatic updates for an individual extension.
