<p>As an update to this, I just installed Firefox on a fresh install
of Windows 10. <br>
</p>
<p>My process was:</p>
<p>Install Firefox with this command line:</p>
<p>Firefox Setup 69.0.exe -ms</p>
<p>then I copy policies.json to %ProgramFiles%\Mozilla
Firefox\distribution</p>
<p>{<br>
"policies": {<br>
"DisableBuiltinPDFViewer": true,<br>
"DisplayBookmarksToolbar": true,<br>
"DisplayMenuBar": true,<br>
"FlashPlugin": {<br>
"Default": true<br>
},<br>
"NetworkPrediction": true,<br>
"Proxy": {<br>
"AutoLogin": true,<br>
"Mode": "none",<br>
"SOCKSVersion": 4,<br>
"UseHTTPProxyForAllProtocols": true,<br>
"UseProxyForDNS": false<br>
},<br>
"SearchEngines": {<br>
"Default": "Google",<br>
"PreventInstalls": true<br>
}<br>
}<br>
}<br>
</p>
<p>Then I start Firefox. Sometimes the policies take hold,
sometimes they don't. <br>
</p>
<p>In this case, the proxy setting held, but the tool bars settings
and disabling the internal PDF viewer didn't. <br>
</p>
<div class="moz-signature">So clearly I'm doing something wrong.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.<br>

<p>Things that work randomly:</p>
<p> "DisplayBookmarksToolbar": true,<br>
"DisplayMenuBar": true</p>
<p> These two work some of the time (I'd say about
70%). The rest of the time, I get none or one of the

<p> I'm not sure if the other settings hold 100% of
the time, because I can't check every install, but the

<div>These two policies only have an effect the first time
they are set and a user can override them. That's probably
why you are getting mixed results/<br>
</div>
</div>
</div>

<p>So is there anyway to do this?</p>
<p>Situation: User already has older version of FF installed. I
want to update to latest and apply new settings (turn on Menu
Bar and Bookmarks Toolbar, Turn off proxy).</p>
<p>If I uninstall the old version of FF, and remove the
%programfiles%\Mozilla Firefox folder, then reinstall, copy the
policies.json to %programfiles%\Mozilla Firefox\distribution
folder will these new settings take effect, or (because there is
already a profile created) are they ignored (it appears they are
ignored, but I'm not sure if that's expected or not).<br>

<p>BTW, the line "DontCheckDefaultBrowser": false
has the opposite affect. If I include this line, then
Firefox never asks if it should be the default, and if
I don't include it, it asks about 80% of the time.</p>

<div>What version of Firefox? Being able to set it to false
was something that wasn't working until Firefox 67/ESR
60.7</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Note that even if you say false, we won't necessarily
ask at every startup.<br>

<p>I'm using FF 68/69. How can I force FF to check 100% of the
time? Checking some of the time isn't the same as "Always check
if FF is your default browser" which makes this setting
inaccurate and disingenuous.<br>
