As I just happen to setting up ESR 68 (on Linux) with a couple of third
party extensions that I want to be loaded by default - this thread is
rather timely ...
However, what policy settings do I need to have an arbitrary extension
enabled by default for all users?
I've put the extensions in distribution/extensions - but they don't
appear in the extensions list when running Firefox
Also, I don't want these extensions to be installed in a user's profile
- just loaded from the install tree
Thanks

You can deploy extensions as a part of Firefox by putting them in the
distribution/extensions directory and then locking them via policy.
This has always been a better way then putting them in system directories where
they might not get updated properly.

This method was deprecated by Chrome years ago and we provide new and

If I wanted to deploy chrome I would be deploying chrome. Maybe it would
spare me a lot of headaches.
As it stands today, any extension installed by these mechanisms gets
disabled anyway.
And we've actually made deployment easier with each release.
Not really if you remove facilities that have been working since day one
(I've been deploying mozilla since it was a monolithic application, and
I preferred it that way, just one application to deploy instead of two
that have a lot of overlap).
Maybe I wasn't using a "sanctioned" method to to the deployment, but
that was just because there was *no* method to do it when I started
doing it, hence, with each new release, I had to jump through hoops to
keep it working.
Anyway, the "new", "improved" methods are less straightforward than the
old fashioned ones.
