The configuration for each extension is another dictionary that can contain the fields documented below.

+| `allowed` | Allows the extension to be installed by the user. This is the default behavior. There is no need for an install_url; it will automatically be allowed based on the ID.
| `blocked`| Blocks installation of the extension and removes it from the device if already installed.
| `force_installed`| The extension is automatically installed and can't be removed by the user. This option is not valid for the default configuration and requires an install_url.
| `normal_installed`| The extension is automatically installed but can be disabled by the user. This option is not valid for the default configuration and requires an install_url.

+| --- | --- |
+| `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.
