Because of bug 1413652, we know people have incorrect geo values.

We're going to do a reset of these prefs with Firefox 57.

I am told this is a change that *must* happen in 57, tracked as blocking.
> Backed out for unexpected connection in talos test ts_paint_heavy.

The log you posted seems to be about a crash which is this:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1409685

or did I miss something? Where in the log does it talk about a connection?

ccing florian to see if he has any ideas when he gets in tomorrow.

Ok, this is a crash in [@ mozilla::net::nsSocketTransport::InitiateSocket] which is something we see as signature if there is an unexpected connection in test automation and when the process gets terminated. Here the text about the unexpected connection is missing.
The crash indicates that we are attempting to do an external network request, which isn't fine for tests. This request is most likely the geoip lookup.

When the geoip code was introduced (bug 1109120), these 2 prefs were introduced in various pieces of test code to avoid the network request:
user_pref("browser.search.isUS", true);
user_pref("browser.search.countryCode", "US");

In the current talos code, this is done at http://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/5a60492a53667fc61a62af1847d005a210b7a4f6/testing/talos/talos/config.py#136

The code we are landing in this bug clears these values in the migration code. For most tests this is fine because the migration code doesn't run for new profiles (profiles that don't have a user value for the browser.migration.version pref). ts_paint_heavy specifically uses an existing profile so it goes through the migration code; we'll need to find another way to disable the request for this test.

We actually don't need the talos patch on 57, it's fixing a talos test that has been introduced in 58 (in bug 1407398).
