Is there a way for a user to say "Thank you but no thanks" on the reset
prompt? I don't necessarily want to disable it, but it's real annoying
there isn't a "Never prompt me again" option on it.

Many of us deploy Firefox in environments where users typically don’t
have an existing profile. This means every session, they would see all
of Firefox’s various welcome messages and dialogs. I haven’t seen a
guide for configuring this stuff on ESR 45, so I thought I’d share my own.
I use CCK2 <https://mike.kaply.com/cck2/>, which simplifies a lot of it:
·Web Pages >
o“Do not display the welcome page”
o“Do not display the upgrade page”
·Preferences > General > “Don’t check if Firefox is the default browser”
·Preferences > Data Choices > I’ve disabled everything in here, so I’m
not sure if they generate welcome messages
·Miscellaneous >
o“Don’t show the rights notification”
oI’ve disabled Marketplace, Hello, Sharing, Forget, Heartbeat, and
Pocket, so I’m not sure if they generate welcome messages
·AutoConfig Only > “Don’t Show the Profile Import Wizard”
Now the things not in CCK2. You can manually add these in the
Preferences section, or mozilla.cfg if you’re not using CCK2. These are
boolean values that need to be set to /true/.
·browser.disableResetPrompt – This is a sneaky one! It doesn’t appear
until 30 days after the last time the profile was modified.
·browser.newtabpage.introShown – Appears when they first open a new tab.
·browser.reader.detectedFirstArticle – This is for Reader View (not
PDF.js), doesn’t disable the feature, just the welcome part.
·browser.urlbar.userMadeSearchSuggestionChoice – When first typing in
the address bar, disables the message “Would you like to improve your
search experience…”
Lastly, there’s some things that Firefox downloads for /each user/. The
download is hidden from the user, but you may want to disable these
things to save resources. These are boolean values that need to be set
to /false/.
·extensions.blocklist.enabled – You may already have this disabled to
run plugins that aren’t the latest version. Alternatively, you could
enable the blocklist but disable its update mechanism with
extensions.blocklist.interval.
·browser.search.update – For the built-in search engines.
·media.gmp-provider.enabled – This is for the Cisco OpenH264 and Adobe
Primetime DRM plugins. They have some silly license where they can’t be
installed with Firefox, but download and install themselves
automatically instead.
I hope this helps!
