[Mozilla Enterprise] Questions about Policy "ExtensionSettings"

Hi,

struggling around with new policy "ExtensionSettings" 
(https://github.com/mozilla/policy-templates/blob/master/README.md#extensions) 
with FF 68.0.2esr (german).

What does "Compatibility: Firefox 69, Firefox ESR 68.1" mean precisly? 
IMO there is no version ESR 68.1 available. Probably "68.0.1" is meant?

Nevertheless configuring "ExtensionSettings" works partly:

{
"policies": {
"ExtensionSettings": {
 
"uBlock0 at raymondhill.net":{"installation_mode":"force_installed","install_url":"https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/downloads/latest/ublock-origin/latest.xpi"},
 
"@unitedstatesenglishdictionary":{"installation_mode":"force_installed","install_url":"https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/downloads/latest/us-english-dictionary/latest.xpi"},
 
"langpack-en-US at firefox.mozilla.org":{"installation_mode":"force_installed","install_url":"https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/downloads/latest/english-us-language-pack/latest.xpi"},
 
"de-DE at dictionaries.addons.mozilla.org":{"installation_mode":"force_installed","install_url":"https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/downloads/latest/german-dictionary/latest.xpi"}
}
}
}

Only the "langpack-en-US at firefox.mozilla.org" does not work. Testing the 
download of 
https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/downloads/latest/english-us-language-pack/latest.xpi 
says "not compatible with this version 68.0.2".

Trying with another browser shows, 'latest' is redirected to download 
"english_us_language_pack-69.0buildid20190827005903-fx.xpi".

Now I downloaded the build for version 68. But what does documentation 
of "install_url" precisly mean for a windows system:
"If installing frmo the local file system, use a file:/// URL"

How to implement the "drive letter"?

Regards
Thomas
