Public bug reported: I use ansible to deploy policies.json file into /usr/lib/firefox/distribution/ folder in order to ensure that all family users use the same set of plugins on all of the ubuntu machines we have.
I found that in ubuntu 22.04 this is not the case anymore. If I open the following page in firefox: about:policies I get the following message: The Enterprise Policies service is inactive. Please advise if this is intended and if there is a replacement mechanism. Note: I visited the documentation of mozilla and could not find anything on this subject related to linux.
