[PreRequisites:] 1. Set the app.normandy.dev_mode preference to true to run recipes immediately on startup. 2. Set the app.normandy.logging.level preference to 0 to enable more logging. 3. Set the security.content.signature.root_hash preference to DB:74:CE:58:E4:F9:D0:9E:E0:42:36:BE:6C:C5:C4:F6:6A:E7:74:7D:C0:21:42:7A:03:BC:2F:57:0C:8B:9B:90. 4. Set the preference value for app.normandy.api_url set to https://normandy.stage.mozaws.net/api/v1 [Steps:] 1. Open staging Control center and create any type of recipe with the following filter: normandy.isFirstRun 2. Open Beta 60 or Nightly 61. [Actual Result:] Recipe created at step 1 is fetched but not executed. [Expected Result:] Filter should return true and recipe created at step 1 fetched and executed.

Forgot to add at step 2, Beta 60 and Nightly 61 should be opened with a new profile and the pre-requisites should already be defined in prefs.js, in order to be able to reproduce the issue.

[Additional Note:] app.normandy.dev_mode true or false makes no difference: recipe still doesn't execute.

How's the patch moving?

The patch is pending review from Gijs. I believe it is ready to go. Gijs, is there anything blocking this on your end I can help with? This is a major bug that we're going to need to uplift to Beta 60 to support bug 1436113. I'd much rather it land soon than have to back out the toolkit component migrations.

You want Services.prefs.getBoolPref, probably?

> There's no review request, so I didn't think it was... Odd. Sorry about that, I guess I confused myself with review board. It seems even though I flagged you for review on review board it didn't sync to Bugzilla.

Pushed by mcooper@mozilla.com: https://hg.mozilla.org/integration/autoland/rev/aeeb277faf1d app.normandy.first_run should default to true r=Gijs

Once this fix is verified on Nightly, I plan to request uplift of this to Beta 60.

Managed to reproduce the initial issue on 61.0a1 (2018-03-16) using the steps provided by Adrian. I can confirm that the bug is verified fixed on 61.0a1 (2018-04-02), using Windows 10 x64, Ubuntu 16.04 x64 and macOS 10.12.6.
