I've tried to add a policies.json file in usr/lib/firefox/distribution/ I believe that the problems comes since I don't have any firefox folder, so no distribution folder. Then I create firefox and distribution folder, I add the policies.json file, reboot the system, and nothing happened.

The policies.json contain the following text:

    {
      "policies": {
        "DisablePrivateBrowsing": true
      }
    }

  • This issue may be due to the snap package, which is unable to see the configs you changed. Switch to the APT version and it should work. https://askubuntu.com/questions/1399383/how-to-install-firefox-as-a-traditional-deb-package-without-snap-in-ubuntu-22/1404401#1404401 – Archisman Panigrahi Jan 21 '23 at 16:19

The solution did not work because the snap package is sandboxed and it cannot find these configs. The workaround is to use the apt version instead. This answer explains how to do that.
