Details
Some users such as Nightly testers often uninstall and reinstall, and after bug 1095739 they now get a notice each time asking them if they want to refresh Firefox. We can introduce a simple boolean pref that can be toggled which will disable this feature. We should keep this feature enabled by default for channels such as Nightly and Aurora/DevEdition because web developers or other early adopters may be using these channels and still think that an uninstall/reinstall will fix some of their perf problems that are actually fixed by doing a Firefox reset.

Actually, there already exists a pref named "browser.disableResetPrompt" that can be set to `true` and it will disable this notification bar. This also covers the notification bar that appears if Firefox goes unused for > 60 days. We shouldn't need a second pref explicitly for the reinstall case.

Not in about:config here using latest m-c build.
