: << 'COMMENT'
Policy-script developed by Magenta ApS for Aarhus Municipal.
Learn more about Firefox "Policy Names" here:
https://github.com/mozilla/policy-templates/blob/master/README.md
It's only possible to have ONE policy-file. In the future this script 
should have to evolve to be a more dynamic solution if we want to be 
able to, e.g. use the same script accross machines and handpick which
Policies we want to use. Until then there will be set some default static
Policies with OS2borgerPC in mind.

Beskrivelse

Udviklet og testet i samarbejde med Aarhus kommune.

Scriptet fjerner alle default startsider (inkl. fanen “Firefox Privacy Notice”), som køres hver gang Firefox startes for første gang i en given ny bruger-session.

Scriptet implementerer policies, der bla.a. deaktiverer slut-brugers’ mulighed for at installere udvidelser samt at logge på(browser sync). Ydermere deaktiveres lagring af historik og cache, gem-password, tracking, m.m.

For mere info de konkrete implementerede policies henvises til at læse scriptet, hvor man kan krydsrefere med Mozillas dokumentation her: https://github.com/mozilla/policy-templates

Udover at sætte startsiden kan man også tilføje en liste yderligere ekstra faner man kunne tænke sig. Læs mere forneden. Dette script er blevet testet og virker på Ubuntu 22.04.
