1248535 - running mochitest on Windows 10 will crash

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1248316

(Testing :: Mochitest, defect)

Description

[Jean-Yves Avenard [:jya]]

Not sure where to lodge this... so here it is.

attempting to run mochitest on windows 10 will crash with:
""FATAL ERROR: Non-local network connections are disabled and a connection attempt to www.mozilla.org (104.16.41.2) was made.""

removing the MOZ_CRASH shows that it is loading:
https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/windows-10/welcome/?utm_source=firefox-browser&utm_medium=firefox-browser&utm_content=firstrun

and only then starts the mochitest.

Hopefully there's a pref to turn this off, and if there is we need to set that in the testing prefs:
https://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/testing/profiles/prefs_general.js

From a brief glance, it looks like setting browser.usedOnWindows10 = true would do it, but I'm not sure if that would break any tests for this feature:

No tests for this code. You can safely set that pref.

Unless I'm misunderstanding, it looks like Bug 1248316 was also filed for this, and already has a reviewed and landed in m-i patch.
