I confirm that the new form would have been enough to point me in the

will let me proceed, and I look forward to the day when mix-and-match
between Group Policy settings and policies.json makes it unnecessary.
Mike, thank you very much for all your work on enterprise support in

I do also still think that a way to explicitly tell Firefox to import a
specific existing profile's contents into the current (new) profile
would be useful, including in other contexts.

likely stick with ESR 38.7 until some better solution
becomes available.
(This wouldn't be the first time I've done something like that; I stuck
with Firefox 3.x until sometime around the release of Firefox 24, and
one of my computers is _still_ on Thunderbird 2.x, almost entirely

suggestions. I've certainly used it for that purpose myself in the
past.)
