How to configure Group Policies for Firefox (tested for version 44.0.2)

If you need to manage the Firefox Browser using group policies in Active Directory, there is a ADMX file available in GitHub.

I tested in a Windows 2012 Server environment, and it worked well.

To install, download the .zip file from https://github.com/n8felton/Firefox-ADMX

After that, you will need to create a folder called PolicyDefinitions into \\ad.domain.example.com\SYSVOL\ad.domain.example.com\Policies\ (if it doesn't exists)

 

Copy the contents of the ADMX Folder that you downloaded inside of PolicyDefinitions, excluding the language that you will not use.

Create a new GPO and insert the file firefox_startup.vbs into the GPO startup scripts (remember that the computers must have security access to this file).

If everything is right, the Firefox GPO must appear like below and you can configure the available options as you prefer.

Don't forget to specify the machines that you want to apply this GPO Scope configuration .
