How to stop Mozilla help tip popups

more options

So the last update added some features most of which I like but one is seriously making me angry because I don't know how to stop it. Mozilla keeps offering suggestions on how I use the web with annoying help tip popups that block my screen. It says things like "Press Ctrl+W to close tabs. It's faster" and "To start private browsing..."

This is SO annoying and I can't find out how to stop it. This is not the first time I've used Firefox and I don't need to be told how to use it like it's my first time. Please help....I don't want to go to Chrome. x.x

Chosen solution

This is an experiment being run by Mozilla. It is because at some time you installed the Test pilot add-on or used a Firefox Beta version, and by doing that signed up to help Mozilla test out new features.

If you want to remove it, feel free to uninstall test Pilot and the experiment add-on. Disable or remove Add-ons

I see! Thanks so much! This is a nice feature but it should really go away after you've chosen the suggestions or seen the prompts a few times already. As it stands now, it happens -way- too often. Thanks again for the help :3
