Remote policies.json
Dimas Streich (Informàtica ICS Girona)
Let me ask you something about the police.json file though I don't know if it's a stupid question or not.
With Firefox <= 52 we used AutoConfig to distribute the settings. The peculiarity is that every time Firefox started it read the settings we had on a remote server, so updating this file the settings were automatically applied to all machines after restart Firefox.
We did this by having the mozilla.cfg of each machine point to the remote file as follows: lockPref ("autoadmin.global_config_url", "http: //intranet_server/firefox.js");
Is it possible to have the police.json file on a server and Firefox read it remotely?
What we do now is that, using netlogon, at each user login on Windows we copy this file locally. But it requires users to log in and is a step back from the previous settings.
Thx

I use Windows group policy to maintain the policies.json file under C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\distribution\ folder so that it is always up-to-date. Since we are ONLY using the policies.json file to setup things, the Windows group policy is actually a group policy preference that updates the file as opposed to using the GPO templates that Mozilla provides. I also maintain the autoconfig.js file and the Mozilla.cfg file with the same group policy. This group policy is a computer policy so it applies independent of a user login.
