Hi There;

I want to deploy Firefox with HTTPS everywhere

I have read about putting the XPI into distribution/extensions OR using policy-templates

And something about auto-config

But I still do not know how I can turn on the "encrypt all sites" in HTTPS everywhere extensions for all users. (the default of the extension is off).

Please help. Thanks!

You would need to contact the extension author.

If they support chrome.storage.managed, you can use the 3rdparty policy to set preferences for an extension.

Otherwise your only option is to copy the files in the profile that store extension settings.
