Provide more information on about:policies page

[theepic-dev]

Hey everyone. I am currently struggling with Firefox ignoring my policies.json files It would be a lot easier to troubleshoot if the about:policies page provided more information.

I think it should show a list of paths it looks at, along with with feedback about the file (whether it exists, the syntax is correct, etc.). If there is a reason policies files are ignored altogether, state what the reason is.

I think it would greatly help when users have trouble applying policies.

Thanks for the links, though I wasn't trying to ask for help, as this is not a support forum.

I genuinely think that the about:policies displaying extra information would benefit anybody that uses (or tries and fails), since a silent failure is very unhelpful.
