1457140 - Policies: Disable/Configure location tracking

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox :: Enterprise Policies, enhancement, P1)

Description

[narutards]

Under about:preferences#privacy you have the option to configure a list of websites that are allowed to track your location and to deny the permission to any new websites.

It would be really nice if you could configure this through the enterprise GPOs.

Comment 1

[narutards]

The option I'm looking for is "permissions.default.geo".

Comment 2

[Mike Kaply [:mkaply]]

There's also geo.enabled. Need to investigate if we change that as well.

Comment 3

[Mike Kaply [:mkaply]]

One more thought - need to verify that when these are locked that the UI is disabled.

And should we have allow/deny for the indvidual permissions?

Comment 4

[narutards]

Individual permissions as in per site?

Comment 5

[Mike Kaply [:mkaply]]

Yes. I'm wondering if we should have the ability to specify sites that are always allowed similar to how we do other permissions (addons, popups, etc)

Comment 6

[narutards]

Well, the more options the better. So yes, if that is possible please feel free to add it.
