Hello, I ve tried to block file:///c:/ in Firefox Quantum release 60.4.0esr(32-bit) by the above .json with no results. I ve also tried to block it in a newer release and it was fine (78.15.0esr (32-bit)). Is anything i can do to block it in this particular version i m using(60.4.0esr(32-bit))?

Thank you

Unfortunately there's no way to block local files via policy in Firefox 60. It was added in 78.

Can I ask why you're using a version that old?

Hello, There are a number of old apps that are configured to play with this particular version. Is there any configuration that we can make in the browser.js file?

Can we Customize Firefox Using AutoConfig to block it somehow?
