1908670 - Home and newtab topic personalization needs region controls

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox :: New Tab Page, enhancement)

Description

[Scott [:thecount] Downe]

Similar to weather's region-weather-config and locale-weather-config, we probably want something like this for topics.

The weather prefs linked above are a pretty reproducible pattern that we can follow for this work.

This pref should be enabled in Nimbus.

I think we can get away with region only, so a CSV list of regions, initially just "US", named something like region-topics-config

I think we can get away with region only because region to feed is 1 to 1, so a US region is always going to end up being the en-US feed.

We could also have a locale-topics-config, but it is redundant because stories and spocs are off anyway in the cases where they are located in US but using a non English browser.

If we had just a locale-topics-config, we could get into a situation where they are using en-US locale, but located in GB, and see the GB feed, which does not yet support topics.
