Depends upon the Linux.
For example
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/7/html/windows_integration_guide/sssd-gpo
This enables the administrator to define login policies honored
by both Linux and Windows clients centrally on the AD domain controller.
so a RHEL7 machine, at least, can in principle do what Luca asks,
provided Firefox for Linux is willing and able to play.
RedHat supply their own version of Firefox, so they may support this
feature even if Mozilla haven't.
