Scenario #2 for new profile on MacOS via terminal and using Stage RS
 Navigate to about:profiles, create a new Firefox Profile and click respective ‘Show in Finder’ to open profile folder.


Place a user.js file containing the Stage RS server user prefs configuration given below in the folder.


user_pref("services.settings.server", "https://settings.stage.mozaws.net/v1");
user_pref("security.content.signature.root_hash", "DB:74:CE:58:E4:F9:D0:9E:E0:42:36:BE:6C:C5:C4:F6:6A:E7:74:7D:C0:21:42:7A:03:BC:2F:57:0C:8B:9B:90");
user_pref("dom.push.serverURL", "https://autopush.stage.mozaws.net");
user_pref("services.settings.load_dump", false);
user_pref("messaging-system.log", "debug");
user_pref("browser.aboutwelcome.log", "debug");
//Bonus lines
// The value of this pref should be provided by the Engineering team and it represents a user that would always see a specific branch of the experiment.
user_pref("browser.ping-centre.log", true);
user_pref("app.normandy.user_id", "<normany_id_respective to_branch>");

Start Firefox from command line using the --profile “<profile_path>” --first-startup --url “<url_to_open>” -jsconsole
Eg.  /Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox --first-startup --profile '/Users/pdahiya/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles/7alaekvw.84-v2'
--url about:welcome is only needed for Nightly because it does not point to about:welcome when a new profile is created.


Once the profile is opened it should be automatically enrolled in the experiment (if the profile is eligible and provided that the recipe is not set-up to serve the experiment to a % of the population)
