Focus experiment treatment branch uses an experiment message that has frequency cap 2x a week followed by default promo message 1x a week, each of these two messages needs to be individually dismissed. Fix of this is code change that's getting implemented with bug 1765907 that will let about:privatebrowsing hide default message when enrolled in an experiment.

Updated FX100 Focus promo experiment QA ticket with this as known issue while computing overall dismiss rate. Thanks
