Comment:

 Here is a patch:
 https://gitweb.torproject.org/user/brade/tor-
 browser.git/commit/?h=bug29445-01&id=7ce43156780e3b91f35481cce1eb4afed56a4b0f

 As an "escape hatch", support for enterprise policies can still be
 disabled by setting `browser.policies.testing.disallowEnterprise = false`
 (but I would guess that Mozilla only intends that pref to be used for
 automated tests).

 Works for me.

Comment (by tom):

 This is because of this check here:

 https://searchfox.org/mozilla-
 
central/rev/cb7faaf6b4ad2528390186f1ce64618dea71031e/browser/components/enterprisepolicies/EnterprisePolicies.js#305

 Amusingly, this means it should work on the Alpha bundle.

 I don't know if Tor wants to support this however.

 https://www.ghacks.net/2018/05/21/enterprise-policy-generator-add-on-for-
 firefox/

 What:
 Create a file "TorBrowser/distribution/policies.json" to disable telemetry
 and other annoyances

 Expected behavior:
 The browser obey policies.json because Tor Browser is based on Firefox ESR

 Actual result:
 "Only Allowed on ESR" error message on Browser Console
