Betreff: Re: [Mozilla Enterprise] Policies.json does not work anymore after 
installation of Snow Inventory Agent

So it appears they are using that to uninstall the extension permanently when 
they uninstall their app.

that's a terrible idea.

I've reached out to them.

Yes, when service „Snow Inventory Agent” is stopped, they install an extension:

{
                
"[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>" :
                {
                               "install_url" : "file://C:\\Program Files\\Snow 
Software\\Inventory\\Agent\\FFCloudmetering.xpi<file:///C:/Program%20Files/Snow%20Software/Inventory/Agent/FFCloudmetering.xpi>",
                               "installation_mode" : "blocked"
                }
}

The funny fact is, that they even do this when the service is stopped during 
uninstallation!

Thanks for the information, that starting with ESR 78.9 GPO and policies.json 
can coexist

Yea, as Dimas says later, this is fixed with Firefox 87 and Firefox ESR 78.9. 
GPO and policies.json coexist.

I'm curious as to what exactly they are doing in policy? Installing an 
extension?

Hello Community,
we are using the inventory solution of snow software 
https://www.snowsoftware.com/ .
Unfortunately their windows-client writes a value to 
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Mozilla\Firefox when the service is stopped.
Subsequently policies.json does not work anymore.

We informed the company and asked them to dismiss this behavior but they 
ignored us.
Can somebody “Mozilla-Official” contact them to change their product?

Best regards
Stephan Lanner
