-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.

-Some of the policies were originally only available on the ESR for security reasons. As of Firefox 62, these policies are available outside of the ESR, but only via JSON file or a Local Machine-based Group Policy. User-based Group Policies are not allowed to set values for these policies. The descriptions below mark such policies as "Machine only".

 ### Certificates

-If this policy is set to any value, Firefox reads certificates from the system certificate store. This is currently only supported on Windows, but will be available on macOS with Firefox 63.
+This policy can be used to install certificates or to read certificates from the system certificate store on Mac and Windows.
+
+The ImportEnterpriseRoots key will cause Firefox to import from the system certificate store.
+
+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.
+
+Certificates can be located in the following locations:
+- Windows
+  - %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Certificates
+  - %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Certificates
+- macOS
+  - /Library/Application Support/Mozilla/Certificates
+  - ~/Library/Application Support/Mozilla/Certificates
+- Linux
+  - /usr/lib/mozilla/certificates
