My review of the options showed that some options are only available with the policies.json file and preferences file so I opted to use a Group Policy Preference to deploy policies and Firefox preferences when we moved to ESR. This process also seems to be a little bit easier to quickly adjust a setting/preference without having to setup a test OU, edit a test GPO, etc.

Is that from the internal configuration of Firefox? We are preparing to use GPOs for Firefox, but we’re not quite there yet. We already have GPOs for IE and Edge, and plan to add some for Firefox, Chrome, and Chromium Edge.
