Custom Bookmarks via Firefox GPO

This GPO isn't as straightforward as with Chrome/Edge, as there appears to be a legacy Bookmark object, too. (Ignore the Bookmarks object, with the list of 50 bookmarks; use the Managed Bookmarks GPO referenced below.)

Objective:

• Bookmarks folder in the bookmark toolbar
• Ensure it shows by default (bookmarks toolbar is hidden by default)

Enable the Bookmarks Toolbar

Turn on the bookmarks toolbar, by default:

• User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Mozilla > Firefox > Display Bookmarks Toolbar
  • Enabled

Hide Default Bookmarks

Mozilla's "Getting Started" and "Most Visited" folder

• User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Mozilla > Firefox > No Default Bookmarks
  • Enabled

Set Your Custom Bookmarks

• User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Mozilla > Firefox > Managed Bookmarks
  • Enabled
  • Option: json [ { "toplevel_name": "Company Resources" }, { "url": "https://example.com", "name": "Company Portal" }, { "name": "IT Helpdesk", "children": [ { "url": "https://announce.example.com", "name": "IT Announcements" }, { "url": "https://tickets.example.com", "name": "Open a Ticket" } ] } ]
