EnterprisePoliciesEnabled

Enable policy support on macOS.

This turns on policy support for macOS via plist, rather than a policy that configures other browser behavior. Until this policy is set, Firefox ignores every policy in the plist. See Configuring policies for where each policy source lives.

Caution

• A policies.json file is read on macOS regardless of whether EnterprisePoliciesEnabled is set or not.
• Setting EnterprisePoliciesEnabled in policies.json has no effect and is reported as an error in about:policies.

Values

• Set to true to enable policy support on macOS, so Firefox reads the policies in the plist.
• Set to false, or leave the key out, and Firefox ignores every policy in the plist.

macOS

<dict>
  <key>EnterprisePoliciesEnabled</key>
  <true/>
</dict>

To enable policies from the command line, set the key system-wide:

sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/org.mozilla.firefox EnterprisePoliciesEnabled -bool TRUE

Or, for the current user only, in ~/Library without sudo:

defaults write ~/Library/Preferences/org.mozilla.firefox EnterprisePoliciesEnabled -bool TRUE
