1351371 - Disable recommended automation prefs in Mn jobs due to specific vendor needs

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Remote Protocol :: Marionette, enhancement)

Description

[Andreas Tolfsen ❲:ato❳]

We should disable the recommended automation prefs in testing/marionette/server.js in the Mn jobs, as we do for other jobs, by setting the marionette.prefs.recommended pref to false in geckoinstance.py.

This tells Marionette to not set the recommended automation preferences in
testing/marionette/server.js when started.  We only want to use this set
of recommended prefs for public consumers of Marionette, and not when we
are testing Gecko itself as they may interfere with expectations of tests.

To update because it confused me today... we needed that because Mn jobs might have specific vendor settings which users of Selenium don't have. As such we don't want to set the recommended prefs for Marionette.
