Starting in Firefox 138, Mozilla started gating Firefox Labs features behind data collection.

Mozilla had announced that some new Firefox features would be released via Firefox Labs.

It is now a few hours since I posted, and there is reason to celebrate – Mozilla is updating Firefox Labs to let people access features without needing to enable data collection.

Dear internet, I am confused. I don't know how to feel about this rollercoaster of events.

If you imagine that the referenced bug was present in the first place, then you'll end up at a pretty good place: slightly bummed that you can't both try out Labs features before they graduate and disable telemetry, but understanding that it's a technical limitation.
