### AutoLaunchProtocolsFromOrigins
Define a list of external protocols that can be used from listed origins without prompting the user. The origin is the scheme plus the hostname.
-The syntax of this policy is exactly the same as the [Chrome AutoLaunchProtocolsFromOrigins policy](https://cloud.google.com/docs/chrome-enterprise/policies/?policy=AutoLaunchProtocolsFromOrigins) except that you can only use valid origins (not just hostnames). This also means that you cannot specify an asterisk for all origins.
+The syntax of this policy is exactly the same as the [Chrome AutoLaunchProtocolsFromOrigins policy](https://chromeenterprise.google/policies/#AutoLaunchProtocolsFromOrigins) except that you can only use valid origins (not just hostnames). This also means that you cannot specify an asterisk for all origins.
The schema is:
```
If `Value` is set to false, tracking protection is disabled and locked in both the regular browser and private browsing.
-If `Value` is set to true, tracking protection is enabled by default in both the regular browser and private browsing and the `Locked` value determines whether or not a user can change it.
+If `Value` is set to true, tracking protection is enabled by default in both the regular browser and private browsing.
+
+If `Locked` is set to true, users cannot change tracking protection values.
If `Cryptomining` is set to true, cryptomining scripts on websites are blocked.
`Category` can be either ```strict``` or ```standard```. If category is set, it overrides all other settings except `Exceptions` and the user cannot change the category. (Firefox 142, Firefox ESR 140.2)
-**Compatibility:** Firefox 60, Firefox ESR 60 (Cryptomining and Fingerprinting added in 70/68.2, Exceptions added in 73/68.5. Category added in Firefox 142/140.2.)\
+IF `BaselineExceptions` is true, Firefox will automatically apply exceptions required to avoid major website breakage. (Firefox 145)
+
+If `ConvenienceExceptions`is true, Firefox will apply exceptions automatically that are only required to fix minor issues and make convenience features available. (Firefox 145)
+
+Note: Users can change `BaselineExceptions` and `ConvenienceExceptions` even when `Category` is set to ```strict``` unless `Locked` is set to true.

### Extensions
Control the installation, uninstallation and locking of extensions.
-We strongly recommend that you use the **[`ExtensionSettings`](#extensionsettings)** policy. It has the same functionality and adds more. It does not support native paths, though, so you'll have to use file:/// URLs.
+Note: The **[`ExtensionSettings`](#extensionsettings)** policy was added in Firefox 69. It provides additional functionality and is closer in compatibility to Chrome and Edge. It does not support native paths, though, so you'll have to use file:/// URLs. I'd recommend trying it before using this policy. Any future improvements will happen in that policy.
-This method will be deprecated in the near future.
+We will not, however, be removing this policy.
`Install` is a list of URLs or native paths for extensions to be installed.
| `install_url`| Maps to a URL indicating where Firefox can download a force_installed or normal_installed extension. If installing from the local file system, use a [```file:///``` URL](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_URI_scheme). If installing from the addons.mozilla.org, use the following URL (substituting ID with the extension ID or with the short name from the URL on AMO), https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/downloads/latest/ID/latest.xpi. Languages packs are available from https://releases.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/VERSION/PLATFORM/xpi/LANGUAGE.xpi. If you need to update the extension, you can change the name of the extension and it will be automatically updated. Extensions installed from file URLs will additional be updated when their internal version changes.
| `install_sources` | A list of sources from which installing extensions is allowed using URL match patterns. **This is unnecessary if you are only allowing the installation of certain extensions by ID.** Each item in this list is an extension-style match pattern. Users will be able to easily install items from any URL that matches an item in this list. Both the location of the *.xpi file and the page where the download is started from (i.e. the referrer) must be allowed by these patterns. This setting can be used only for the default configuration.
| `allowed_types` | This setting whitelists the allowed types of extension/apps that can be installed in Firefox. The value is a list of strings, each of which should be one of the following: "extension", "theme", "dictionary", "locale" This setting can be used only for the default configuration.
-| `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.
| `default_area` | (Firefox 113) String that indicates where to place the extension icon by default. Possible values are `navbar` and `menupanel`.
### FirefoxHome
