Not yet, but perhaps with the ESR 60 release of Firefox. The below message was sent on December 20, 2017, to this list, from Sylvestre Ledu ( [email protected]).
The Firefox ESR (extended support release) is based on an official release of Firefox desktop for use by organizations including schools, universities, businesses and others who need extended support for mass deployments. Since Firefox 10, ESR has grown in popularity and many large organizations rely on it to let their employees browse the Internet securely. We want to make customization of Firefox deployments simpler for system administrators and we’re pleased to announce that our next ESR version, Firefox 60, will include a policy engine that increases customization possibilities and integration into existing management systems. What is the policy engine? The Policy Engine is a project to build a Firefox desktop configuration and customization feature for enterprise users. The policy engine will work with any tool that wants to set policies and we intend to bring Windows Group Policy support soon. We’ll be initially supporting a limited set of policies but this will be evolving through user feedback. More details on the policy engine can be found here. <https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/EnterprisePolicies> Bug reference <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1419102> What’s the plan? In order to accommodate the group policy implementation, we are making Firefox 60 our next ESR version and will be following this plan: - May 8th - ESR 60.0 released (we’d love feedback from early adopters at that point and will be sharing a feedback form through the enterprise mailing list) - July 3rd - ESR 60.1 released - August 28th - End of life for ESR 52 and release of ESR 60.2.0. No further updates will be offered for ESR52 and an update to ESR60.0.2 will be provided through the application update service Also please keep in mind that Firefox 57, released last month, supports only add-ons built with the WebExtensions API <https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/WebExtensions>. This means that Firefox 52 ESR is the last release that will support legacy add-ons. If you developed an add-on that has not been updated to the WebExtensions API, there is still time to do so. Documentation <https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/WebExtensions/Porting_a_legacy_Firefox_add-on> is available, and you can ask questions by emailing [email protected] or joining the #webextensions channel at irc.mozilla.org <http://irc.mozilla.org/>. If you are supporting users who use add-ons, now is a good time to encourage them to check if their add-on works <https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/frequently-asked-questions-firefox-addon> with Firefox 57+.
