After applying Firefox admx templates to windows 8.1/10 devices we can see the settings applied in the Current users registry settings, but when launching Firefox these settings do not seem to apply, I cant see any articles online that would suggest a rot cause or resolution, any advice would be appreciated!

What do you see when you navigate to about:policies?

I think this has resolved the issue within about:policies page i can see the active certificate policy i had applied and within the errors tab it lists the failed policies with reasons why they had failed

For example the homepage was not applying due to "scheme (http or https) must be specified

I will amend my admx policies to see if this resolves it

Much appreciated
