Suddenly popping up a "Privacy Study" tab and activating it is obnoxious and breaks automated testing

Details
User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Fedora; Linux x86_64; rv:64.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/64.0
Steps to reproduce:
The automated test system I maintain tries to run a test by launching Firefox from a console with a URL as a command line arg.
Actual results:
Firefox opens, briefly shows the URL the test requested...then suddenly opens a new tab showing a "Privacy Study" and switches to it. The test then goes down in flames because, well, it doesn't expect this kind of obnoxious crap to happen. See https://openqa.fedoraproject.org/tests/355404#step/freeipa_password_change/20 and https://openqa.fedoraproject.org/tests/355404/file/video.ogv .
Expected results:
Don't suddenly switch away from displaying the content I specifically requested to see two seconds after starting up.

You can disable studies globally.

Thanks, I'll have to adjust the tests so that all tests which run a browser create that configuration first, then. :/

There's really nothing us for us to do here.
I understand it frustrates you, but sometimes we show tabs at startup.
We have policies to prevent this if you need to.
