Is there a way to set a policy to only allow approved plugins or addons to be installed?

I would like to control the use of addons and plugins in firefox in my company. I do not want employees to install addons and plugins unless they are on a white-list that the IT department has reviewed and approved.

Do you have a local server where you can "host" the approved add-0ns? Then you can block the download / installation of add-ons from everywhere except for that local server.

You can use a mozilla.cfg file in the Firefox program folder to lock prefs or specify default values.

Place a file local-settings.js in the defaults\pref folder to specify using mozilla.cfg. 

pref("general.config.filename", "mozilla.cfg");

See:

You can prevent users from installing extension via this pref: 

//
lockPref("xpinstall.enabled" ,false);
