Hi All,

I need to customize FireFox for my org. Question...I set some preferences with a config files, and others with group policy, will both work assuming the preferences don't overlap/conflict? The reason is that I want to employ the DoD recommendations for securing FireFox, but only for their recommendations. For other settings, I would like to use Group Policy. Thanks

Can you be more specific what you mean with config files? Autoconfig?

We do combine JSON and GPO,. but we don't combine individual policies (like Preferences), we just combine where they don't overlap. If they overlap, GPO wins.
