Hi,

My policies.json file is installed in my 'distribution' folder alongside FirefoxPortable.exe and the Data folders in the root of the Firefox portable install folder.

It looks like this:

{

"policies": {
  "PrimaryPassword": true,
  "BlockAboutConfig": true,
  "PromptForDownloadLocation": true,
  "SanitizeOnShutdown": {
     "Cache": true,
     "OfflineApps": true },
  "Preferences": {
     "browser.startup.page": {
       "Value": 3,
       "Status": "user" 
     }
  }
}

}

None of the policies are being applied, and on the page <about:policies> I'm getting "The Enterprise Policies service is inactive".

Others have said this was caused by having the following registry keys in the registry, which is not the case in my registry after checking:

Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Mozilla\Firefox\ Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Policies\Mozilla\Firefox\

Thanks.

Make sure you create the distribution folder in the correct location since you mention the Data folder that is used for the profiles. I'm not using the portable version being on Linux, but I think that this is the correct file path:

  • FirefoxPortable\distribution\policies.json

Yep that's where it is.

Solved this now.

For portable versions of Firefox, the 'distribution' folder containing policies.json needs to go in the FirefoxPortable>App>Firefox64 folder.
