[Affected versions]:

• Firefox Release 114.0.2 - Build ID: 20230619081400
• Firefox Release 115.0.1 - Build ID: 20230706202047

[Affected Platforms]:

• Windows 10 x64
• macOS 13.4.1
• Ubuntu 22.04

[Prerequisites]:

• Have a Firefox profile, older than 6 hours and younger than 28 days.
• Firefox is not set as the default browser.
• Save the “user.js” file to disk.
• Have only the default (5) bookmarks saved.

[Steps to reproduce]:

1. Open the browser with the profile from the prerequisites.
2. Navigate to the profile folder and paste the “user.js” file from prerequisites.
3. Restart the browser.
4. Set 2 bookmarks (for a total of 7, including the default bookmarks that are set in Firefox).
5. Restart the browser and observe the behavior.

[Expected result]:

• The “Fox Doodle Set to Default” spotlight is displayed.

[Actual result]:

• The “Fox Doodle Set to Default” spotlight is NOT displayed.

[Notes]

• In the received documentation, the “Set to Default Fox Doodle” is supposed to be triggered after the user has more than 6 bookmarks saved.
• If 1 more bookmark is saved, the “Set to Default Fox Doodle” will be displayed on the next browser startup.
• This issue is probably also reproducible on “Fox Doodle Pin to Taskbar: Early day - Context” experiment, but I will verify it as soon as the experiment is launched to preview.
• Attached a screen recording.

I have verified that this issue is no longer reproducible with the latest Firefox Release (115.0.2 - Build ID - 20230710165010) installed on Windows 10 x64, Ubuntu 22.04 and macOS 13.4.1. This issue can be closed.
Also, we found out that this issue is also reproducible with the "Pin to Taskbar: Context Early day users", however, we logged a separate issue for this (see bug 1843557).
