Just a thought...

While things like snippets, CFR, Pocket recs, heartbeat etc. are generally useful to most Firefox users, there's a vocal minority of folks (twitter, reddit, hn, they're easy to find...) who find all of this stuff to be unnecessary or deleterious to their experience of Firefox.

Propose we make a global about config flag to be checked by by all services in Firefox that message users through the browser. Something like browser.communications.donotdisturb. The vast majority of users won't bother with this, but it could serve as a good way to provide a centralized annoyance mitigation tool for developers and users alike

I think this is a brilliant idea, and a pressure release valve for a vocal minority of people using Firefox.
