Notes
- Jeff followed up on 784189
- Gavin wanted something more encompassing than just keyword.url
- Asa agrees that landing this fix is beneficial
- We will want both a support article and possibly PR around this fix
- Want to land this fix in 19. 18 could even be a possibility
- We will be talking to Yahoo soon to fix toolbar optout issues.
- Hotfix for addons may be more difficult than we assumed.
- Asa recommends we fix in trains or is there a light weight hotfix specifically for preferences
- We could advertise Jorge's addon fix in the snippet.
- Should consider a one time reset for UA changes as well. We need to be careful as there are legitimate uses for this.

- Jorge has hardcoded the block for Mozilla Safe Browser
