Library Pack Header

Firefox is a commonly used browser in the workplace, with employees easily able to install various plug-ins to improve their browser experience. However, IT oversight over proper browser usage management can quickly escalate to unwanted compliance, security, or performance issues.\n\nThe Firefox Browser Management Library Pack allows IT teams to manage the Firefox application estate by understanding which plug-ins are installed, set a desired configuration of plug-ins, and establish a blacklist of banned plug-ins. In addition, IT can clear cache and cookies, or execute full user clean-ups to support troubleshooting scenarios.\n\nThis pack comes with several Remote Actions to investigate, set and clear Firefox settings. It also includes Engage campaigns to notify employees about changes made on their browsers.\n\nExplore related Library packs to further manage your Browser landscape\":\"\n    * [https://www.nexthink.com/library/browsers/ Browsers].\n    * [https://www.nexthink.com/library/microsoft-edge/ Microsoft Edge].\n    * [https://www.nexthink.com/library/internet-explorer/ Internet Explorer].\n    * [https://www.nexthink.com/library/chrome-browser-management/ Chrome Browser management].
