Windows Active directory group policy objects

Like many small to medium businesses, we use Firefox in addition to Internet Explorer. The Windows Active Directory group policy objects we have for IE works nicely in all versions of IE. Firefox on the other hand has stopped playing ball. Any policy files I have found on the Internet simply does not fire when used in Windows Group Policy. We have Windows 2008 R2 servers with Windows 7 clients. Does Mozilla have official group policy objects that will work with Windows Active Directory group policy and is supported in Firefox versions 27 onwards? A lot of the material on the Internet are simply workarounds to achieve something simple.

I believe this may have been asked several times already, but no definitive answer has been supplied to resolve the issue to my knowledge.

Thanks and regards

To my knowledge, Firefox historically has not had integration with group policy, and third party tools have been required to bridge the gap. You may have found templates that work in one of those tools.

These threads have links to third party tools, articles, mailing lists, and other resources:

Please report back if you find a solution. Thanks.
