Stop Firefox constantly asking me to rate it

[henryg_1]

I keep getting pop-up requests from FF 57b to rate the program (Windows 10x64), despite having done so more than once. How can I stop this very annnoying behaviour?

Surely Mozilla isn'tstupid enough to use cookies to record it being done?

Moving to Firefox Builds as 57b is not a release version.

Do you currently have this enabled? - Preferences > Privacy & Security: "Allow Firefox to install and run studies"
If so, disable it. This may solve it. The beta, however, may not allow you to opt-out as it is pre-release.

Unfortunately, this is not available as an option. Any about:config change I could make to same effect?

Wow, that a lot of info - do you really want it posted here; or only the first section?

about:config
experiments.enabled set to false
experiments.activeExperiment set to false
extensions.ui.experiment.hidden set to true

close/restart the browser after the changes.

These are the pref's I changed long ago when 'experiments' was first introduced and to my knowledge none have ever pushed to my machine.

EDIT: also have a look at about:support (enter in the url bar) then scroll to bottom of page, there is a section there for 'experiments'. Do you have anything there ? That will the list any experiments.

Here are a couple of more things you can disable in about:config that may help:

browser.onboarding.shieldstudy.enabled - false
extensions.shield-study-recipie-client.enabled - false

Not sure if the same thing, or how this should be, but I just checked, and mine has:
browser.selfsupport.enabled set to false

Do you have this preference? extensions.shield-recipe-client.enabled
If so, double-click on it to set it to false.
