I am having issues with the adminSettings config option in Firefox. I am trying to disable the uBlock filters - Privacy and EasyPrivacy filters. The string I am using works fine in Chrome (60.0.3112.113, uBlock Origin version 1.14.8) but does not appear to do anything in Firefox.
Chrome:
I have this text in the registry location for policies:
{"selectedFilterLists":["plowe-0","malware-1","malware-0","easylist","ublock-unbreak","ublock-badware","ublock-filters","user-filters"]}

Firefox:
I have this line in my cck2.cfg file:
defaultPref("extensions.ublock0.adminSettings", "{"selectedFilterLists":["plowe-0","malware-1","malware-0","easylist","ublock-unbreak","ublock-badware","ublock-filters","user-filters"],"filterLists":{"assets/thirdparties/pgl.yoyo.org/as/serverlist":{"off":false},"assets/thirdparties/mirror1.malwaredomains.com/files/justdomains":{"off":false},"assets/thirdparties/www.malwaredomainlist.com/hostslist/hosts.txt":{"off":false},"assets/thirdparties/easylist-downloads.adblockplus.org/easylist.txt":{"off":false},"assets/ublock/unbreak.txt":{"off":false},"assets/ublock/badware.txt":{"off":false},"assets/ublock/filters.txt":{"off":false},"assets/user/filters.txt":{"off":false},"assets/ublock/privacy.txt":{"off":true},"assets/ublock/experimental.txt":{"off":true},"assets/thirdparties/easylist-downloads.adblockplus.org/easyprivacy.txt":{"off":true}}}");

I have also tried going to about:config and pasting the string I have in the registry for chrome into the adminSettings preference then restarting the browser.

• OS/version: Windows 10 1607
• Browser/version: Firefox ESR 52.3.0
• uBlock Origin version: 1.14.4

I tested downgrading to uBlock Origin version 1.13.8 (on Firefox) and the settings were properly applied. Did the method of configuration change in the newer version?

Sorry if this has been addressed elsewhere.
