Hi Mike, I got it to work. The problem was I was using com.mozilla.firefox instead of org.mozilla.firefox in the configuration profile. Thanks for all your help

If you are just customizing the homepage, you can remove everything else in this file except Homepage and EnterprisePoliciesEnabled (it's a demo file)
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>EnterprisePoliciesEnabled</key>
<true/>
<key>Homepage</key>
<dict>
<key>URL</key>
<string>http://example.com</string>
<key>StartPage</key>
<string>homepage</string>
</dict>
</dict>
</plist>
Hi Mike, Thanks for your response. I modified the plist as you recommended. But when I upload the plist into Jamf, created and distribute the configuration profile. The homepage does not display the correct url. Here is the plist I used. Is there something I missed or and additional item I need to the configuration profile. Thanks for your help
<plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>EnterprisePoliciesEnabled</key> <key>Homepage</key> <dict> <key>URL</key> <string>https://intranet.centricbrands.com</string> <key>Locked</key> <true/> <key>StartPage</key> <string>homepage</string> </dict> </dict> </plist>
Were there any errors with JAMF?
I get the best support for mac issues on the mac admin slack:
There's a lot of folks in the #firefox channel that are really helpful.
What do you see when you go to about:policies in Firefox?
There are no errors The configuration profile deploys but the url stays the same. is there a way for me to just install the profile manually?
Yes, you can use https://github.com/timsutton/mcxToProfile to create the mcx file and then when you open it on mac, it will get automatically added to your config profiles.
This is how I test.
