Bookmarks

Firefox has two types of bookmarks:

  • bookmarks menu
  • bookmarks toolbar

In the figure shown, you can see the bookmarks in the menu system.

bookmarks

The figure shown. Bookmarks in the menu system.

Bookmarks may also be stored in the toolbar by selecting "Bookmarks Toolbar," as seen In the figure shown. When users do this, they can see bookmarks on the toolbar.

bookmarks_1

The figure shown. Bookmarks in the toolbar.

Netwrix Endpoint Policy Manager (formerly PolicyPak) can manage bookmarks within Firefox, as shown In the figure shown.

bookmarks_2

The figure shown. Endpoint Policy Manager managing permissions within Firefox.

Video: To see a video of Endpoint Policy Manager managing bookmarks, go to https://www.policypak.com/video/endpointpolicymanager-manage-firefox-bookmarks.html.

The format you need to specify is

Folder\NameOfItem, URL, toolbar | menu,  add | remove.

So, for example,

Folder123\PolicyPak, https://policypak.com, toolbar, add

would add policypak.com to the folder named Folder123 inside the toolbar.

Folder123\PolicyPak, https://policypak.com, menu, add

would add Endpoint Policy Manager to a folder named Folder123 inside the menu system.

Folder789\Microsoft, http://microsoft.com, menu, delete

would DELETE an entry named Microsoft within a folder named Folder789 inside the menu system.

Note that all bookmark items are merged with what is already on the system; if you have anything in Group Policy that conflicts, then the Group Policy setting will win.

note

You must specify precisely the name and folder where items will be DELETED.
