Should we add an enterprise policy for this (we have pref policies now)?

Hello,
The “app.update.BITS.enabled” pref has the default value on true and the “app.update.BITS.inTrialGroup” pref is not found anymore in about:config when using Firefox 68.0 (20190701181138), Firefox 69.0b1 Developer Edition (20190701201355) with Windows 10x64 and Windows 7x64.
