If this policy is enabled, you can use JSON to describe the extension management policy. If this policy is disabled or not configured, extensions will not be managed. For detailed information on creating the policy, see https://firefox-admin-docs.mozilla.org/reference/policies/extensionsettings/.
Registry
HKLM
Software\Policies\Mozilla\Firefox HKCU
Software\Policies\Mozilla\Firefox Export Builder
BETAConfigure the state, scope and options, then generate .reg, PowerShell, Intune and SCCM outputs — or add the setting to a multi-setting collection.
These exports write the registry — this is not a managed GPO. ⓘ
Applying both scopes creates an ambiguous configuration (computer takes precedence over user). Only do this intentionally.
