[:Gijs (out until Jan 5th; he/him)]

I don't believe this preference should ever be set to true, so we should remove it.

I hope this is what you had in mind. Please let me know how I can improve it as it is one of my first few patches.

So, eslint decided this wasn't quite perfect yet:

Can you also remove the assignment to 'pb', and for good measure, the comment line
>     // The pref allows us to test the feature

because we no longer test with this pref? Thanks!

Oh, indeed. I now know about "mach lint" and I'll make sure to run it on future patches. Please let me know if I have set the right flags (review ?, needinfo).

Nit: the second line should be aligned with the "!" so one space to the left.

review was good, needinfo wasn't necessary, but it didn't hurt. :-)
