    Hello. Quick question if I may. I am trying to modify the Firefox policies.json file to add "BlockAboutProfiles": true, but not sure how
    to properly integrate the "code" into the file. See the image here:

    How do I add the code from the screenshot into the existing
    policies.json file? I want to be sure and keep what I already added functional.

    Thank you

    I figured it out. Did not work at first until adding an additional },
    but now working as it should
