+**IMPORTANT**: This file is in active development along with the policies in Firefox. To get the policy information that corresponds to a specific release, go to https://github.com/mozilla/policy-templates/releases.
+
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 content of the JSON file should look like this:
**Note**: though comments are used in this readme file for documentation, comments are not valid in actual JSON files. Remove all comments before attempting to deploy.
