Prevent Mozilla privacy banner popup in kiosk mode
I'm using Firefox in a kiosk-mode application, on a Raspberry Pi based system, started from a bash script like this:
# Clear history etc. to prevent problems if unit is not perfectly shut down rm -v -r /home/pi/.mozilla/firefox/*.default rm -v -r /home/pi/.mozilla/firefox/*.default-esr rm -v -r /home/pi/.cache/mozilla/firefox/*.default rm -v /home/pi/.mozilla/firefox/profiles.ini
sleep 2
/usr/bin/firefox-esr --kiosk -url http://127.0.0.1
However on booting I get a banner from Mozilla along the top of the screen saying:
"Firefox automatically sends some data to Mozilla so that we can improve your experience [Choose what I share]"
This is not acceptable in kiosk mode, as it would give users access to the configuration as well as being a visual annoyance. How can we disable this?

Anyone got any help on this?
We cannot have random popups in kiosk mode and this would force us to switch to a different browser if we cannot rely on Firefox.
Maybe you can use Enterprise Policy (policies.json). I don't know whether this policy will have the desired effect, or this refers to a different page:

While this is useful for other aspects I'm not seeing anything relating to the Firefox-native banner popups that are neither a start-page nor an actual web page popup / window.
EDIT: Unless it's these messages, which is unclear: https://mozilla.github.io/policy-templates/#usermessaging
It feels like Kiosk mode is nowhere near as "clean" as it should be by default, I suspect they've added the banners and not thought about / realised the effect it has on kiosk-type applications.

Maybe you can interactively determine what preferences are modified when you interact with the infobar and choose your preferences, and then set those via Policy.
