OverrideFirstRunPage

Override the first run page. If the value is an empty string (""), the first run page is not displayed.

The first run page is what Firefox opens the first time a new profile is used, normally the onboarding tour at about:welcome. Setting this policy replaces that page and turns the onboarding tour off, so users go directly to the URL you specify.

Starting with Firefox 83, Firefox ESR 78.5, you can also specify multiple URLs separated by a vertical bar (|).

For the page shown after Firefox updates, see the OverridePostUpdatePage policy.
