@davidgerard I totally blame it all on @pluralistic
@davidgerard
Mine are still disabled.
I use Pop_OS so in ‘about:preferences’ it says “Your browser is being managed by your organization”, ie, the apt package manager. Maybe that saved me?
@steve_zeke @davidgerard That basically means that you have a "/etc/firefox/policies/policies.json" file which is essentially the enterprise way of configuring Firefox. You can enter "about:policies" in the url bar for a detailed listing of your current effective policies and links to the full documentation.
@steve_zeke @davidgerard Most likely this is just used to turn off automatic updates (since you'll get your updates through apt instead) but I guess if there is a policy in place Mozilla might be a hair more hesitant to touch other settings too since it would risk upsetting some big players...
@davidgerard Yep! Firefox is making it really hard to keep supporting if they are going to keep doing this shit.
@davidgerard mine didn't. I wonder what's different? Mine is on Linux, from official repo (not Ubuntu's flatpak)
