1845419 - Add the ability to block a feature callout message after it's hidden

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox :: Messaging System, task)

Description

[Shane Hughes [:aminomancer]]

Implement new behavior to allow the configuration of “transient” Feature Callout steps, that will only show once before being permanently dismissed. This will allow the first step in a feature tour to be persistent, while the final step is transient (i.e. will not come back after being seen once).

The New Tab CSAT includes a “Thank you” callout message to be displayed after the survey (the first screen) has been completed. But the normal feature callout behavior is that callouts will keep appearing, starting at the current screen, until they are explicitly dismissed by user interaction. So that would mean this “Thank you” message will keep showing up on every new tab page the user opens until it’s dismissed. But that message only makes sense when it comes directly after the first screen. If the user sees it a day later they may have no idea what it relates to.

So, we need to add a way to make sure the message is blocked after the first time the screen is hidden.
