We just upgraded to windows 10 and it has been a rocky road to normalcy. My IT department uses Quest for everything. Quest SMA and SDA along with Desktop Authority. The CIO decided they didn't like Edge and wanted to move to a new browser. They did this 2 days before we go live. The question is how do i make firefox import the Bookmarks. So many articles say try the adm admx files. Tried that..failed. They create a registry entry for it but there not used. I tried finding the file location but firefox has some odd profile naming that changes the folder name. That and the location from the articles doesn't have the file it says to open. As of now I am just lost. I'm not sure how to complete this task of adding bookmarks or the Home Page. I was able to get them setup as the default browser but without the bookmarks or favorite its all moot. We have over 300 users and they are about 3 weeks away from coming back to work. I need a solution or i will have to force them to use Edge(no one wants that even web sites hate edge.). Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

I tried those already. The admx files load but firefox ignore the settings. I will try a ticket with Quest Desktop Authority. Maybe its an issue with how the program creates group policies. I tried the json file also. I used https://jsonlint.com/?code= to make sure the code was valid but it doesn't load from there either. I hope quest has an answer.

Do you see any messages when you go to about:policies?

What version of Firefox are you using?
