One aspect we have been made aware of by different developers and by the uninstall survey is that having telemetry enabled takes a certain amount of time for Firefox startup. Given that we do not send telemetry at all, it should be completely disabled.

To completely disable Telemetry the preference datareporting.healthreport.uploadEnabled has to be set to false.

Also see bug 1662544 (which is similar for geckodriver) for more details.

As it looks like Puppeteer launcher already has this preference set. So I only have to remove the toolkit.telemetry.server preference.
