I am the bug submitter, if anyone has any insight into why firefox has started doing this let me know. I'm starting to suspect this might be a Mr robot style problem again....

Have you seen https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/shield ? Do you have that pref enabled?

I do have Firefox set to allow installing and running of studies, and I am happy for that to happen. However as the page you linked says > Firefox Pioneer is an example of an opt-in SHIELD study.

I do not want to opt-in, instead I want it to stop asking me to opt in.
