[Affected versions]:

  • Firefox Nightly 83.0a1 (Build ID: 20201006041051)

[Affected Platforms]:

  • Windows 10 x64
  • Windows 7
  • macOS 10.15

[Prerequisites]:

  • Have the latest Firefox Nightly browser installed.
  • Be enrolled in the “fission-enabled” branch.
  • The browser has been restarted at least once after enrollment.

[Steps to reproduce]:

  1. Navigate to “about:studies” and disable the study.
  2. Restart the browser.
  3. Navigate to “about:config” and observe the preferences.

[Expected result]:

  • Preferences are:
    • fission.experiment.enrollmentStatus set to 0 OR deleted.
    • fission.experiment.startupEnrollmentStatusset to 0.
    • fission.autostart reset to false.

[Actual result]:

  • Preferences are:
    • fission.experiment.enrollmentStatus deleted.
    • fission.experiment.startupEnrollmentStatusset to 2.
    • fission.autostart set to true.

[Notes]:

  • If preferences are observed between steps 1 and 2, the results are:
    • fission.experiment.enrollmentStatus set to 2.
    • fission.experiment.startupEnrollmentStatusset to 2.
    • fission.autostart set to true.
  • This issue is also reproducible for unenrollment by disabling all studies.
  • This pattern of preference behavior is also reproducible for the "fission-disabled" branch.
  • This issue is not reproducible for unenrollment by changing the fission.experiment.enrollmentStatus or fission.experiment.startupEnrollmentStatus prefs.
  • Attched is a recording of the issue.
Component: General → DOM: Navigation

The issue is also reproducible for unenrollment by disabling the Normandy recipe. Tested on stage using a cloned recipe using Firefox Nightly (Build ID: 20201007094223).

This is getting fixed in bug 1669749.
