**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.

### DisabledCiphers
Disable specific cryptographic ciphers.
-**Compatibility:** Firefox 76, Firefox ESR 68.8\
+---
+**Note:**
+
+This policy was updated in Firefox 78 to allow enabling ciphers as well. Setting the value to true disables the cipher, setting the value to false enables the cipher. Previously setting the value to true or false disabled the cipher.

+### Handlers
+Configure default application handlers. This policy is based on the internal format of `handlers.json`.
+
+You can configure handlers based on a mime type (`mimeTypes`), a file's extension (`extensions`), or a protocol (`schemes`).
+
+Within each handler type, you specify the given mimeType/extension/scheme as a key and use the following subkeys to describe how it is handled.
+
+| Name | Description |
+| --- | --- |
+| `action`| Can be either `saveToDisk`, `useHelperApp`, `useSystemDefault`.
+| `ask` | If `true`, the user is asked if what they want to do with the file. If `false`, the action is taken without user intervention.
+| `handlers` | An array of handlers with the first one being the default. If you don't want to have a default handler, use an empty object for the first handler. Choose between path or uriTemplate.
+| `name` | The display name of the handler (might not be used).
+| `path`| The native path to the executable to be used.
+| `uriTemplate`| A url to a web based application handler. The URL must be https and contain a %s to be used for substitution.

+With Firefox 78, an additional option as added for `Startpage`, `homepage-locked`. This allows for locking the homepage, but still allowing the user to choose whether or not they want to restore their session.
