• The Firefox browser is set as default.

[Steps to reproduce]:

1. Open the browser with the profile from prerequisites and click the "Remote Settings Devtools" toolbar button.
2. Change the "Environment" to "Stage" and restart the browser.
3. Connect to the captive portal from the prerequisites.

I believe this should be fixed by the backout of bug 1724108.

I have verified that this issue is no longer reproducible using the latest Firefox Nightly (93.0a1 - Build ID: 20210822212235) installed on Windows 10 x64. Now, I can confirm the "VPN Promo" infobar is displayed even if the Captive Portal login page was already opened.
