I would strongly disagree on the sysadmin stuff. Firefox has always had a very powerful settings system. All the stuff you could set in about:config can also be set via a set of configuration files provided by the sysadmin, the user and the distro, each of which can provide defaults, presets or locked non-changeable settings which are hierarchically enforced. Exactly what you need as a sysadmin, cross-platform, could do everything and the kitchen sink, distributable either via your usual config management or LDAP/HTTP/whatever you can script in a few lines of Javascript if you need. GPOs are just a poor windows admin's substitute, they cannot do half of that, even in IE and Edge. Not to mention Chrome, which lags miles behind there.
- lousken 5y agoI am not denying that firefox has options to customize itself, but if you don't wanna take my word for it - here's the comments on /r/sysadmin when they started supporting GPOs https://old.reddit.com/r/sysadmin/comments/82naw1/mozilla_firefox_finally_getting_gpo_support/ https://old.reddit.com/r/sysadmin/comments/82naw1/mozilla_fi... .
