-Policy documentation has been moved to https://mozilla.github.io/policy-templates/.

+
+## About policies
+
+Firefox policies allow administrators to centrally manage browser behavior, enforce security requirements, configure features, or disable certain functionality.
+
+Policies are commonly used in managed environments such as businesses, schools, and public-sector organizations.
+They can be deployed using platform-specific mechanisms, including Group Policy on Windows, configuration profiles on macOS, and JSON configuration files on all platforms.
+
+This repository contains policy templates to support deploying and managing Firefox as an enterprise browser.
