I agree it could be lower, maybe 5? I don't feel strongly about this either though, maybe pdol knows someone who can give us a qualified opinion here :)

That's so that the intro does not appear when making the screenshots of the control center, IIRC. It's testing only, anyway.

P3 or P5, let's say P3 for now.

We're going to be redesigning this UI and onboarding anyways, so I'd almost suggest we wontfix this.

This is defined here nowadays: https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/56705678f5fc363be5e0237e1686f619b0d23009/browser/base/content/browser-contentblocking.js#745-746

Technically this task would only be about changing the number to, say, 5, but it would also be nice to have a pref for controlling this.

I want to work on this issue. Please assign it to me.

Done, thank you!

Hi Nidhi, are you still working on this? Is there anything I can help you with?

Sorry, Johann! I have been busy with college. Just submitted a revision on phabricator.
