Managed Storage

Enterprise Managed Storage Configuration

Temporary Containers Plus includes comprehensive managed storage support for enterprise environments. Administrators can configure and lock extension settings through Firefox Enterprise Policies, providing centralized management across organizations.

Key Features

• Policy-based configuration management - Configure settings through Firefox Enterprise Policy
• Setting locking - Prevent users from modifying critical security settings
• Centralized deployment - Deploy consistent configurations across organizations
• Real-time policy updates - Changes apply without extension restart
• Cross-platform support - Windows Group Policy, macOS profiles, and Linux policies

⚠️ IMPORTANT WARNING

No Setting Validation: The extension currently does not validate managed storage configurations. Invalid setting names, incorrect data types, or malformed values in your policy configuration will cause runtime errors and may prevent the extension from functioning properly.

Always verify your configuration by testing in a development environment first and checking the browser console for errors after deployment.

Basic Configuration Example

Modern managed storage configuration uses Firefox Enterprise Policy with the new extension ID:

Windows Group Policy

{
  "policies": {
    "3rdparty": {
      "Extensions": {
        "{1ea2fa75-677e-4702-b06a-50fc7d06fe7e}": {
          "version": "1.0.0",
          "policy_name": "Corporate Security Policy",
          "locked_settings": ["automaticMode.active", "deletesHistory.active"],
          "preferences": {
            "automaticMode": {
              "active": true,
              "newTab": "created"
            },
            "container": {
              "namePrefix": "corp-tmp",

              "automaticMode": "automatic"
            }
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}
