Someone (i think in primis, Mike) can do a brief summary of changes in
FF91, considering installation/deploy and configuration?

I'm speaking of:

+ AutoConfig is still suported? Or now we have only policy?

+ extensions can still be 'sideloaded' (eg 'browser\extensions\' and pref("extensions.autoDisableScopes", 8);
pref("extensions.enabledScopes", 7);) or now have to be managed in a
'chrome' like way?

- json policy now support 'split file', to be able to configure
easily addons?


I've look at:

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/products/firefox-enterprise

but seems does not (still) contain many info on 91...


Thanks.

There shouldn't be that many major changers around install/configuration from 78 to 91.

And most changes happened on 78 as well.

 + AutoConfig is still suported? Or now we have only policy?

Yes, Autoconfig is still supported.

 + extensions can still be 'sideloaded' (eg 'browser\extensions\' and pref("extensions.autoDisableScopes", 8);
   pref("extensions.enabledScopes", 7);) or now have to be managed in a
   'chrome' like way?

This is still supported on ESR only.
 

   - json policy now support 'split file', to be able to configure
     easily addons?

No, but we now support coexisting GPO and policies.json

That info hasn't changed for 91.
 
 

Thanks.
