[Mozilla Enterprise] local domains seen as search engine words?

[Mike Kaply]

Are you setting any Preferences via the old policy?

What do you see when you look at:

Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Policies\Mozilla\Firefox

In regedit?

I'm seeing weirdness where sometimes policies don't take in GPEDIT and I
have to edit other policies to make them take.
