@Robert, hey, I could have probably been more clear about this, my bad. Step 3 applies only for nightly. We decided to keep the global feed on in nightly for the time being, but turn it off in release/beta. So the steps you have in your previous comment are correct and still apply to nightly. Once 84 hits beta, the steps should be different. Also once 84 hits beta, step 3 no longer applies because "FR" is off, which means the global override off is redundant. Steps to test this once it's in beta are: 1. Use an English browser 2. Set browser.search.region to IT 3. Restart 4. Open a new tab Expected: should not see pocket stories. If you were to flip this pref browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.discoverystream.locale-list-config to "" in nightly, you would simulate what's different between nightly/beta. Hope that helps.
