Why policies.json not read with Firefox 70.0.1 on Windows 7 32 bits?
Windows 7 32 bits system with Firefox 70.0.1 32 bits. C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\distribution\policies.json is not read. policies.json: {
"policies": {
"DisableAppUpdate": true,
"BlockAboutConfig": true
}
} I start Firefox, but I am still able to access about:config and make changes.

open your FF browser and "Go to about:config"
in the URL bar, right click and select "New->String". Add a string value called "browser.policies.loglevel"
and set the value to "debug" After that restart your FF browaser. Open the browser Console (Ctrl+Shift+J) and there is debug information about policies. Note that the "Help -> Troubleshooting Information"

Did you make sure the policies.json is a plain text file (no special formatting) and that the file doesn't have a hidden.txt file extension (policies.json.txt)?
