    What's this in my Firefox settings?


    Noticed a small warning box in the top of my FireFox settings:

    So my question is, what is the meaning of this? And it's all over my settings pages of FF!

    The 'organisation' message is from Firefox, not Windows. The tweak that produced the message in Firefox is to a policies.json file a directory called distribution within the Firefox installation directory. See the post I linked to for more details, and links to further information about Firefox policies.
