Our security division has asked that we disable and lock Webrtc for all deployments of firefox. How do we configure/implement this when we automatically deploy firefox? We can do it either via Group Policy or a file on the client computer.

The preference:

media.peerconnection.enabled

controls this.

We don't have a policy right now, but I'll see about getting one added.

In the meantime, you can use Autoconfig to just set this preference to false:

If it doesn't work, you might need to add an additional preference to autoconfig.js:

pref('general.config.sandbox_enabled', true);

Good day,

I was just wondering if this has been added to the policy? The policy would be our best solution which would not require additional configurations.

To be more specific, it's a Preferences policy

media.peerconnection.enabled

and it's in the GPO.
