1498688 - Consider Managed Bookmarks folder

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Firefox :: Enterprise Policies, enhancement, P5)

Description

[Mike Kaply [:mkaply]]

So our bookmarks stuff is pretty complicated.

Might be nice to have a second option of Managed Bookmarks just like Chrome.

Where a folder is always there with managed bookmarks.

Looking to have QE verify for uplift to ESR.

An example policies.json file is here:

https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/browser/components/enterprisepolicies/tests/browser/managedbookmarks/managedbookmarks.json

This follows Chrome's ManagedBookmarks policy

https://cloud.google.com/docs/chrome-enterprise/policies/?policy=ManagedBookmarks

So you should be able to use the information there to do any additional testing.

ESR Uplift Approval Request

• If this is not a sec:{high,crit} bug, please state case for ESR consideration: Policy related, parity with Firefox Beta
• User impact if declined: Unable to use Manaaged Bookmarks policy
• Fix Landed on Version: 82
• Risk to taking this patch: Low
• Why is the change risky/not risky? (and alternatives if risky): Change has been in nightly with no problems with browser (there is a followup cleanup that went in last night, but it's not needed for the function).

I've asked for QE to verify, but they haven't yet.

• String or UUID changes made by this patch: places.ftl (two new strings) policies-descriptions.ftl (new description)

[Alin Ilea, Desktop QA]

Verified - Fixed in Beta 82.0b8 and latest Nightly 83.0a1 (2020-10-07) using Windows 10. The folder name can be changed using toplevel_name, the user cannot add other bookmarks in the managedbookmarks folder by drag and drop and the folder position cannot be changed.
Cannot apply the managedbookmarks.json to an older Fx version than 82.

Removing the uplift request to ESR. Mike and I decided to take the uplift in ESR 78.5 with the latest clean up changes so as to also benefit from a full 82 cycle on the release channel.
