Not sure what to add to what the other users said, but you probably should install Linux Mint proper instead.
Firefox policies are in the file distribution/policies.json in installation directory - remove or edit as needed. It probably is all right: ubuntu does it, and mint is based on ubuntu.

This probably doesn't have much to do with Linux/Mint, but to do with your browser and the user you signed in with. If you're signed in with an account you use at your work, then they are enforcing a policy, based on their data security rules. You can sign OUT of that account, and the policies won't affect you, and sign in with your non-work account. Start an incognito window for work use, and the two won't touch each other.
