I have a banner that says that "your browser is being managed by your

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.
Yes, you're right:
01~>cat /usr/lib64/firefox/distribution/policies.json
{
"policies": {
"DisableAppUpdate": true
}
}
The prediction is, if I were to remove that file, the banner would go
away. I'll try that at some point.
Thank you.
