(I'm presuming this was a typo for "", since that's what's in the
updated README.md.)
Yes, and thank you; that works, and the adjusted wording is indeed more
clear.
As a tangent regarding that documentation, I've found the wording in one
of the other sections confusing.
Under the "Homepage" section, there is a line reading:
"With Firefox 78, an additional option as added for Startpage,
homepage-locked. This allows for locking the homepage, but still
allowing the user to choose whether or not they want to restore their
session."
This reads to me as saying that setting StartPage to 'homepage-locked'
will lock the home page, but allowing the user to modify the "restore
session" toggle in the preferences. That would be a little
counterintuitive from the string used to set the preference, but could
be reasonable, and is what it seems to say.
However, when I set it that way, the "restore session" toggle was
disabled and grayed out. When I set it instead to 'homepage', I got the
behavior I'd expected from the given wording. This is what I would have
thought would be intuitive from the value string.
Looking back, I'm guessing that what is meant by this phrasing is
something like "the 'homepage' setting allows the administrator to lock
the homepage without affecting the restore-session setting, and the
'homepage-locked' setting allows the administrator to lock both the
homepage and the restore-session setting; previously this latter was the
only behavior we could set through this policy, so the fact that we now
have both opens up the option of doing the former". Even if that is
correct, however, that did not seem clear on initial reading.
I'm not sure what would be ideal (unusual though that is given my usual
strong opinions about clear phrasing), but whether I'm right about the
intended meaning or not, I hope that this could be improved somehow.
