Hello,

I am reaching out to gain information on ADMX GPO policies. We are retiring Policy Pak which used to add all the policies and secure Firefox for Enterprise. What we noticed is that Policy Pak used the app set to apply these policies and we are noticing that native GPO's for the most part to match the Policy Pak policies is not as accurate for GPO's My ask here is there any Most Viable Product suggestions to apply Native GPO's for securing Firefox.

Hello,

Here some examples of policies that were applied but I do not see a corresponding GPO that can give us the same policy. Can you look into these so we can determine what Windows GPO's match?

Logins and Passwords - Show Alerts about passwords for breached websites browser.urlbar.shortcuts.history browser.safebrowsing.provider.google.advisoryURL layers.gpu-process.max_restarts

These are just examples, and we have plenty more. We are looking for help with a GPO that matches these few examples.

You can use the Preferences policy to set these preferences:

https://mozilla.github.io/policy-templates/#preferences

Show Alerts about passwords for breached websites is the preference:

signon.management.page.breach-alerts.enabled

We definitively don't have all the policies that PolicyPak offers. They have much granular control over everything.

Many of what you've specified require that you set prefs.

> Don't load tabs until selected > Confirm before loading multiple tabs > Warn me when opening multiple tabs (might slow down Firefox) I don't know what these are. We don't have this in standard Firefox preferences

UPDATES and DRM

> Browsing - Use autoscrolling Preference general.autoScroll > Browsing - Recommend extensions as you browse https://mozilla.github.io/policy-templates/#usermessaging

PRIVACY

> Logins and Passwords - Show Alerts about passwords for breached websites Preferences signon.management.page.breach-alerts.enabled > Address Bar - Open Tabs - Search Engines I don't know what this is referring to

SECURITY

> HTTPS-Only Mode - Don't enable HTTPS-Only mode https://mozilla.github.io/policy-templates/#httpsonlymode

> Disable "Show Update History" button Not available

> Disable "History-Exceptions" button I don't know what button this is.

> Disable "Show Cookies" button Not available

> Disable "saved Passwords" button

you can turn off the password Manager completely:

https://mozilla.github.io/policy-templates/#passwordmanagerenabled

> Disable "Security Passwords Exceptions" button

We don't have a way to disable that button

PolicyPak was focused on providing total control in Firefox, that was never our goal with Firefox policy.

Hello,

Thanks for your response and we do understand that that Policy Pak is a lot more robust than a typical native GPO. What I would like to do is provide the settings with all the policy pak settings and if you have a link to provide the settings provide that to us or if not, we understand that it cannot be as robust as policy pak.

There is no reason to explicitly set all of the preferences you are setting.

If there are specific things you are trying to do, you can let me know, but many of those are internal preferences that have no reason to be set.
