Excuse me ! I'm running one policy, and I want to create another into this file "policies.json". After editing, it doesn't work.Like this:

Path: C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\Distribution\policies.json

//It is the way to block "about:config" from github.com,and it works. { "policies":{ "BlockAboutConfig":true } }

//Now I create another policy. { "policies":{ "BlockAboutConfig":true "BlockAboutAddons":true } }

//Or like this,they don't work. { "policies":{ "BlockAboutConfig":true } } { "policies":{ "BlockAboutAddons":true } }

So please ! Anybody could tell me how to use the grammar about "policies.json" ? Thank you very much !

Hi, you need a comma between each of the property: value pairs in an object. For example 

{
  "policies": {
    "BlockAboutAddons": true,
    "BlockAboutConfig": true
  }
}

You may also see examples with square brackets where a property takes an array of values, but that's a story for another day.

Note that there shouldn't be a comma before a closing curly bracket (})

You can use JavaScript like this to test the code in the Web Console or Browser Console.

  • JSON.parse(prompt("Paste JSON code",""));
