Mobile's still broken. Which is a browser Mozilla has apparently abandoned the userbase of in favor of focusing all their mobile effort on some silly pointless separate browser that caters to millenials more somehow or some other nonsense, instead of just working on the browser they already have. Really fed up with Mozilla at this point and considering switching to a fork or something.
Also why it took 6 hrs to assign P1 to the bug
Interesting. Sadly, I imagine many users will have studies disabled since the Mr. Robot incident. I've re-enabled it but there does not appear to be a way to force it to check for updates. Guess it will show up in the next 6 hours.

You can set app.normandy.first_run to true and then restart Firefox.
Out of curiosity, how did you know that? What does this actually do?
Mozilla has been on the downward spiral over the last several years. They took something (i.e. Firefox) that wasn't broken and "fixed" it until it was, first by killing off XPCOM and then suffering through the misadventures of such bastard products as Firefox OS. The folks at Mozilla should really stick to what their good at and focus on an all around open source browser that people will actually WANT to use.

I just checked my preferences to make sure it's still disabled.
If you visit the Mozilla homepage, there is nothing to acknowledge the problem (at least at the time of writing this message). Let's try the Support page. Where is it? Scroll down to the bottom of the lengthy Mozilla homepage to the page footer to find the link. (How many visitors will make it to the bottom?)
When you click through to the Support page, an easy-to-miss banner in tiny text appears at the top of the page that mentions the problem - screenshot here: https://imgur.com/a/TAHZSWa
Additionally, when the add-ons are disabled, Firefox misleading says: "These extensions do not meet current Firefox standards so they have been deactivated". This is probably a generic message but it's also an example when a generic message is misleading.
Finally, poorly-named settings like "Normandy" and "studies" that give no hint of their meaning only adds to the confusion.
