1886833 - Home and newtab create a weather feed

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Firefox :: New Tab Page, enhancement)

Description

[Scott [:thecount] Downe]

The idea is a weather widget in the top left corner of newtab, behind a pref, some telemetry, and some options to customize it.

This would be using the existing merino service that uses accuweather.

I am going to split this into 2 tickets.

First one, this bug, is the weather widget feed. It'll handle the fetching, caching, prefs, and logic for managing the data. Outputting the weather data to the newtab devtools.

It'll be preffed off.

The second ticket is for the UI and telemetry, I filed that in bug1890136.

I have verified this issue using Firefox Nightly 127.0a1 (try build downloaded from treeherder), Build ID: 20240510095250 by setting the prefs provided in this Test Plan and I can confirm that the Weather Data field is now populated with data from "source": "merino".
