By fixing this bug users can use unmanaged extension org.mozilla.firefox.systemconfig to load system-wide settings.

Policies are read from host path: /var/lib/flatpak/extension/org.mozilla.firefox.systemconfig/x86_64/stable/policies/policies.json

With the https://phabricator.services.mozilla.com/D168799 changeset the preferences in the host system path
/var/lib/flatpak/extension/org.mozilla.firefox.systemconfig/x86_64/stable/defaults/pref will also be loaded.

Attachment: Bug 1814897 Add org.mozilla.firefox.systemconfig extension to load system-wide settings; r=mkaply

The settings must be put into (path depends on architecture and branch):
/var/lib/flatpak/extension/org.mozilla.firefox.systemconfig/x86_64/stable/defaults/pref

Currently policies.json to be placed into:
/var/lib/flatpak/extension/org.mozilla.firefox.systemconfig/x86_64/stable/policies/policies.json
