User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/67.0.3396.99 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

I want the ability to let a user install an approved extension. We want to block all extensions besides a list of trusted extensions. Also, not force the install of trusted extensions.  Only users that want it can install it.  The settings in GPO doesn't seem to have this option. There is a setting to "allow add-on installs" but it doesn't let me choose which ones. If I disable "add-on installs" but add the url to the "Extensions to Install," it doesn't work.


Actual results:

See above


Expected results:

Have the ability to add a trusted extension yet disable the user from allowing add-on installs.  We want to control what the user adds on to their firefox browser.
