I Used AI to help create this to work along with the spin safe browser extension and pi-hole to lock down the firefox browser and keep kids safe online. You can lock extensions from being removed by adding a policies.json file into a distribution folder and coding it to not be removable. The location in Windows is "C:\ProgramData\Mozilla\Firefox\policies\policies.json" if there is not policies folder, create one. Then create a policies.json file and load your code into it. In the example below I will demonstrate the code to lock the spin safe browser - web filter and lock bing to be the safe search version:
Example:
{
"policies": {
"DisableAppUpdate": true,
"DisablePrivateBrowsing": true,
"Homepage": {
"URL": "
https://www.bing.com/?adlt=strict",
"Locked": true
},
"Preferences": {
"browser.search.defaultenginename": {
"Value": "Bing",
"Locked": true
},
"browser.search.hiddenEngines": {
"Value": ["Google", "DuckDuckGo", "Yahoo", "
Amazon.com", "eBay", "Wikipedia (en)"]
}
},
"Extensions": {
"Locked": ["firefoxspinextension@nationaledtech.com"]
}
}
}
