QA, when this lands it will be pref'ed off. You will need to do a couple of things to pref it on: * Set a registry key to enable shortcut creation in the installer. The exact key depends on the install path. Here are the keys to use for Nightly & Beta: ** Nightly: `HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Mozilla\Firefox\Installer\6F193CCC56814779\CreatePrivateBrowsingShortcut` -- this should be a DWORD set to `1`. ** Beta: `HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Mozilla\Firefox\Installer\308046B0AF4A39CB\CreatePrivateBrowsingShortcut` -- this should be a DWORD set to `1` * Set `browser.privacySegmentation.enabled` to true The testing that I did myself is described in https://phabricator.services.mozilla.com/D147702 -- the main thing I think needs to be checked is that shortcuts are created in the following scenarios, and pin to the taskbar with the correct icon and tooltip text: - Shortcut created through the installer - Installer shortcut has been deleted, and is recreated after relaunching Firefox And also that if the second shortcut is deleted, it is _not_ recreated again.
