Things that work randomly:
"DisplayBookmarksToolbar": true,

These two work some of the time (I'd say about 70%). The rest
of the time, I get none or one of the toolbars.
I'm not sure if the other settings hold 100% of the time,
because I can't check every install, but the toolbars are obvious.
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/
So is there anyway to do this?
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).
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).
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.
What version of Firefox? Being able to set it to false was something
that wasn't working until Firefox 67/ESR 60.7
Note that even if you say false, we won't necessarily ask at every
startup.
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.
