Firefox hitting getpocket.cdn.mozilla.net before hitting my url

[abhagupta]

I understand this issue is not WPT related but thought of putting it here to get some suggestions if anyone has faced it. I noticed that when i run a scripted test on private instance on Firefox, the first url that gets hit is getpocket.cdn.mozilla.net which produces a FirstByte = 0 (obviously wrong). This behavior does not happen in public instance of WPT. My version of Firefox is 61. I have disabled the
extensions.pocket.enabled=FALSE in Firefox but I still see the issue. Any ideas around this? Btw.. i created a support ticket to Mozilla and waiting for reply from them as well.

Disabling the extension locally won't help since the agent runs in a dedicated profile directory with it's own prefs. I just added the pref to the agent and it should roll out over the next hour as agents update.

Looks like Firefox recommends more settings in profile to be turned off: browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.feeds.section.topstories . reference https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1225699#answer-1132807

Hi Patrick, I disabled pretty much all the pocket related settings from the file you pointed out in the agent (manually right now). I am seeing that I successfully get the pocket disabled the very first time I test after change in this file, but after the first test, I see the pocket returns and first byte is undefined. I am trying to see what profile a test run with.. is there a way I can log the profile settings of test before it runs? I am still trying to set debug=1 from UI.. couldn't find it. Can you point that as well?
