Using Group Policy, homepage isn't set on first start, but is set on subsequent startups
Using Group Policy, we set the homepage and a few other settings for the browser.
We want the application to go to our University's site on startup, however, on the first startup after a user logs in for the first time, it opens up to a new tab page and opens a Firefox web page on security in another tab.
After closing the window and re-opening, it goes to our University web page no problem, but then prompts the user to set Firefox as the default browser.
I have found no other articles that are relevant to the issue thus far.
Let me know if you need any more information.

Try to disable default Browser check {
"policies": {
"DontCheckDefaultBrowser": true
}
} In a cfg file add defaultPref("browser.newtabpage.enabled", false);

I will try this out, but where exactly do I put the first and second pieces?
@AnnaSycamore
I added the json to the policies.json file under distributions as mentioned by this article: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/customizing-firefox-using-policiesjson
I also added the mozilla.cfg file to set defaultPref like you mentioned.
Neither of these fixed the issue at all. Is there anything else I need to do to get these to work? Is there a GPO setting for these options instead?
I have found two Group Policies that I will try that should what I need. Here they are:
Under: "User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Mozilla\Firefox"
- Override the first run page - Enable - Set to URL - Don't Check Default Browser - Enable
Will report back
