Details

In both TelemetryPing and TelemetrySession there are 

const PREF_FHR_UPLOAD_ENABLED = "datareporting.healthreport.uploadEnabled";

These prefs are never used. I'm pretty sure the bug is that this prefs should be used in TelemetryPing: this pref represents the checkbox in prefs for disabling sending FHR and telemetry.
This will also fix problems where xpcshell tests are calling TelemetryPing.send and crashing: the uploadEnabled pref should be missing/false in the normal xpcshell environment.

Alessio, is that something that will get cleared up by bug 1134279?

That's something being done in bug 1137252 (|_canSend|).

What is the crash here? Is it for outbound network traffic in tests?

If so, we should just set this to a proper dummy URL in test profiles that doesn't trigger this.

... which bug 1137252 apparently takes care off too.

Bug 1137252 didn't actually handle this for xpcshell, but i ran into this in bug 1150134 and am fixing it there.
