1650790 - Add about:home startup cache to the experiments section of about:preferences

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox :: New Tab Page, task, P1)

Description

[Mike Conley (:mconley) (:⚙️)]

This will help more people opt in before it's on by default, and opt out when it does become default, which should hopefully help find more bugs.

The cache is still disabled by default, but it would be good to collect more bugs and feedback early.
