Apply policies.json on first run
Hello,
I'm using the following policies.json file: {
"policies": {
"DisableAppUpdate": true,
"DisableFirefoxStudies": true,
"DisableTelemetry": true,
"DisableProfileRefresh": true,
"DontCheckDefaultBrowser": true,
"Homepage": {
"StartPage": "homepage",
"URL": "http://www.DKIPAGE.de"
},
"NewTabPage": false,
"OverrideFirstRunPage": "http://www.DKIPAGE.de",
"OverridePostUpdatePage": "http://www.DKIPAGE.de",
"Preferences": {
"datareporting.policy.dataSubmissionPolicyBypassNotification": true,
"extensions.getAddons.showPane": false
}
}
}
but it seems it settings will only applied on the second start of firefox. It seems the appropriate profile needs to be created before the policies are applied is there a way to apply it for the first start even if there is no profile created yet?
Regards
Martin

Im using FF ESR 78.3.0 and it seems some old profiles seem to caused the problem after I cleared the %Appdata%\Mozilla\Firefox folder it was applied on the frist run. Anyway no errors where shown after starting FF with the old profiles folder. Thanks for the "hint" ;)

Update: I tested to write the homepage settings into the registry then it even needs 3 starts to apply... so that is also no solution... Evenso I couldn't find any possibility to convert the json file into I reg file which would make this whole approach a lot easier.

Policies should definitely be applied on first run, so I'm not sure why you are seeing this.
What do you see when you go to about:policies after starting the first time?
are there any errors?
What version of Firefox?
