Comment (by tom):

 This is because of this check here:

 https://searchfox.org/mozilla-
 central/rev/cb7faaf6b4ad2528390186f1ce64618dea71031e/browser/components/enterprisepolicies/EnterprisePolicies.js#305

 Amusingly, this means it should work on the Alpha bundle.

 I don't know if Tor wants to support this however.
