When going to the Settings tab, Firefox shows me the message "browser is managed by your organisation". However, I am not part of any organisation, since I am a private individual.

  • What does this message mean?
  • How can I remove this message and regain control over the Settings in MY Firefox?

What security software do you have?

Seeing the "Your browser is being managed by your organization" notification at the top of the Settings page is usually caused by security software that uses GPO policy rules or uses a policies.json file in the distribution folder in the profile folder to inject their root certificate (ImportEnterpriseRoots) in Firefox to be able to hook into your internet connection to prevent getting a connection not trusted error message.

You can click the "Your browser is being managed by your organization" notification or open the about:policies page to see if policies are active and if errors are reported.
