The current default preference (per about:config) is: app.normandy.enabled;true To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/1827717/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
