I use firefox-bin and this:

  qlist firefox-bin | grep json

reveals that the ebuild installs:

  /opt/firefox/distribution/policies.json

which disables the built-in update check:

  {
    "policies": {
      "DisableAppUpdate": true
    }
  }

Probably something similar is happening with the non-bin firefox ebuild.


In particular, when I set my default home page (to blank), after
properly exiting firefox and re-starting, I'm back to the mozilla home
page and I get a mozilla privacy notice tab.  Is that "managed"?

Hm. Probably not. Something else might be causing this.
