[Mozilla Enterprise] Problems with profile reset

[Thane K. Sherrington]

I've noticed two issues with the profile reset.

1)Often, when Firefox loads after I've done the: --reset-profile 
--migration --- Firefox still gives the message "Looks like you've 
reinstalled Firefox.  Want us to clean it up for a fresh, like-new 
experience?"  But I just cleaned it up.

2)If I click Refresh Firefox from the above message, then it loses some 
of the settings I created with policies.json and gets rid of the Menu 
bar and Bookmarks toolbar.

Any idea why these things are happening?
