Generates Enterprise Policies for Firefox.
With Firefox 60 and Firefox ESR 60, Mozilla has introduced the so-called Enterprise Policy Engine. The Enterprise Policy Engine allows administrators to configure Firefox via a configuration file. The advantage of this configuration file over Group Policy Objects (GPO) is that this method does not only work on Windows, but cross-platform on Windows, Apple macOS and Linux.
Although this extension is not directly related to the CCK2 Wizard, it shares the same idea as CCK2 Wizard, but it is for Firefox 60 or higher and Enterprise Policies. The Enterprise Policy Generator helps to create the configuration file, so that no in-depth study of the documentation and all possible options is necessary. Administrators can simply click together the desired Enterprise Policies.
Enterprise Policy Generator is a WebExtension and compatible with Firefox 60 and higher (Firefox 140 or higher is required for the latest version of Enterprise Policy Generator).
- Configure all enterprise policies via an intuitive user interface
- Validations for fields that expect specific values
- Accessibility has been taken into account
- Use via keyboard is possible
- Marking of policies that require a newer Firefox version than the current ESR version
- Shows additional information or links where appropriate
- Drag and drop of values where multiple values are possible
- Save configurations and load them at a later time
- Export configurations and import them on other devices
- A filter field allows searching in the policy names, options and descriptions
The interface can be accessed via the toolbar button or the keyboard. For this purpose the combination Shift + F10 is reserved. Or you can open the interface via a menu entry in the "Tools" menu.
You can use Shift + F to focus the filter field, and Shift + G to focus the button to generate the policies.
Fields that allow multiple values can be moved using the keyboard: Press Space to pick up an item. Use Arrow Up and Arrow Down to move it. Press Space or Enter to drop. Press Escape to cancel.
You can find the roadmap and request new features in the issues tracker.

Enterprise Policy Generator needs several permissions to work properly.
No special permissions are needed to install and use Enterprise Policy Generator!
This permission is not needed to install and use Enterprise Policy Generator, but Enterprise Policy Generator will ask you at runtime once the following permission is needed:
This permission is needed for providing the option to download the generated “policies.json” file or to export configurations.
Enterprise Policy Generator needs some more permissions, but Firefox does not prompt for the following permissions:
The menus permission is needed for providing a menu entry in the tools menu to access Enterprise Policy Generator's user interface.
(since 2.0.0)
The storage permission is needed so that you can save and load configurations.
