Firefox Browser: Your browser is being managed by your organization

In about:preferences i read: Your browser is being managed by your organization For german Users: Der Browser wird durch Ihre Organisation verwaltet. No further info.

This links to: about:policies Enterprise Roots Certificates ImportEnterpriseRoots true No further info

Search here: about:config security.certerrors.mitm.auto_enable_enterprise_roots true security.enterprise_roots.enabled true No further info

So i used regedit.exe Nothing to see here but 1: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Mozilla\Firefox\ HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Policies\Mozilla\Firefox\ No further info

Where else could we see WHO is watching us? This is very important and if we can not see this, EVERYBODY could be this even Malware :( Why is that not visible under about:policies#active ? So this is a security malfunction of Firefox i mean.


Here i found no solution: "Security software uses this to hook in the Firefox internet connection to be able to monitor your internet traffic and possibly warn you or even prevent you from visiting not trusted websites." Topic: What is "ImportEnterpriseRoots" 2019-11-13 https://support.mozilla.org/lt/questions/1272909 https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1354393 All archived.

BUT how to proove or deny this? I have no control over my security? How should i believe this?

The policies document may have been installed by security software.

Sorry, may be, may not, who knows? Security software that can not be identified is malware. OK, the browser perhaps has not the rights to check this. So Windows should have been able to do this by a built in feature. How do we know?
