-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 Does policies.json support local file paths for the Install property of the Extension policy under Windows? If so, what syntax is necessary when specifying them?
Version 2.7 of the policy-templates document (which I believe is the relevant one for ESR 78.7) gives example paths of the forms "https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/downloads/somefile.xpi"; and "//path/to/xpi" - that is, a remote-URL path, and some form of filesystem-based path (not clear whether local or network). It mentions that native paths are supported, which I infer to mean that e.g. local paths of forms such as "/path/to/xpi" would work on a Linux system. However, when I try a local path of the form "C:\path\to\filename.xpi" on a Windows system - that being the form native paths typically take on Windows - Firefox ESR 78.7.0 doesn't apply settings from the resulting JSON file, and about:policies shows that there were errors parsing the file. A UNC version of that local path ("\\C$\path\to\filename.xpi") - the other Windows-native path form - gives the same result. I've tried escaping the backslashes and I think also the colon, with no difference in the result. If I instead specify the remote URL to the XPI on AMO, it works - but I don't want to always download the XPI from an external source every time, both for robustness' sake and to save on network traffic. Is passing a local file path on Windows to this policy, using policies.json rather than Group Policy, expected to work? If so, any idea what may be going wrong in my case, and what I might be able to do to get it working? - -- Andrew J.
