Fixing "Will you help improve Mozilla Firefox" message that appears while using Selenium under Mac OSX, Part I
Am trying to troubleshoot issues with Selenium running in our Continuous Integration environment.
Firefox 11 is what I started with on my local Mac machine.
A search about the problem lead to multiple results [1]. There seemed to be promising info about config
settings as mentioned in [2]. I tried using about:config as described in [3].
I edited the settings but the next time Firefox opened, the message was stil there. It occurred to me that
maybe the profile I was editing for toolkit.telemetry (my default Firefox profile) was not the profile
being used by the instance of Firefox that was firing up for Selenium tests.
