Fixing "Will you help improve Mozilla Firefox" message that appears while using Selenium under Mac OSX, Part I

FirefoxSeleniumMacOSCPartI.txt

Am trying to troubleshoot issues with Selenium running in our Continuous Integration environment.  
Firefox 11 is what I started with on my local Mac machine.  

A search about the problem lead to multiple results [1].  There seemed to be promising info about config 
settings as mentioned in [2].  I tried using about:config as described in [3].

I edited the settings but the next time Firefox opened, the message was stil there.  It occurred to me that 
maybe the profile I was editing for toolkit.telemetry (my default Firefox profile) was not the profile 
being used by the instance of Firefox that was firing up for Selenium tests.  

Then, I stumbled upon the Profile Manager in [4] and in particular, for Mac in [5] which, in the end, 
didn't help because it (the Profile Manager) only knew about my default profile.

I fired up a Selenium test again but this time did a "ps -ax | grep firefox" and discovered the Firefox 
app using a profile in: 

/var/folders/ag/<SOME_HASH_VALUE>/-Tmp-/

... which disappeared after Firefox closed.  I think the custom profile is created by the Selenium jar, but 
as I spent enough time in this rabbit hole, I decided to downgrade the version of Firefox on my dev machine 
to that which is on the CI box: 3.0.5 [6] to get on with my work.

In Part II, I'll get to a more robust fix.  I suspect I'll have to update, at a minimum, the Selenium 
gem (WebDrive anyone?) 

Quite possibly, I'll need to update the selenium-client gem too.
