no worries! it used to be very annoying ( http://sciops.net/information/technology/firefox/manual ) but the policies.json file makes it very simple nowadays. You're of course left at the mercy of whoever provided the file for you, and if you want to change something, you can no longer do it in the gui, but have to edit the file.
One extra benefit is that you can do this before starting firefox for the first time, so that it doesn't spy on you immediately before you do all the switching off.
