[Mozilla Enterprise] How can we get rid of Welcome screen in ESR 78

Tue Jul 7 14:52:32 UTC 2020

That welcome should be turned off if you turn off FirefoxAccounts via policy

https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/7ec7ee4a9bde171ba195ab46ed6077e4baaef34d/browser/components/enterprisepolicies/Policies.jsm#540

or if you change the first run page:

https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/7ec7ee4a9bde171ba195ab46ed6077e4baaef34d/browser/components/enterprisepolicies/Policies.jsm#1297

I'll verify this didn't break somehow in 78.
