About this tag
The tag policies.json on WindowsForum.com covers discussions about Mozilla Firefox's enterprise configuration file used by IT administrators to manage browser settings. Recent content highlights how Mozilla added a GenAI kill switch via policies.json, allowing organizations to disable AI features like chatbots and link previews, while ordinary users face hidden opt-out toggles. The tag focuses on enterprise IT control, browser policy management, and the privacy implications of AI features in Firefox. Topics include about:config workarounds, third-party AI providers like Microsoft Copilot, and the gap between admin and consumer settings.
Mozilla has added a way to turn off its new AI features — but only for IT administrators, not ordinary users, leaving privacy‑minded consumers stuck with an awkward manual workaround or buried about:config toggles to fully opt out.
