My clients are small business to corporate users. They do NOT want people even trying "Hello". To apply fix to everyone is time consuming! What can be done except go to a different browser? How about a "No Thanks" button to opt out!

You can set the loop.enabled pref to false on the about:config page to disable Hello and remove the toolbar button.

You use a mozilla.cfg file in the Firefox program folder to lock prefs or specify new (default) values.

Place a local-settings.js file in the defaults\pref folder where also the channel-prefs.js file is located to specify using mozilla.cfg. 

pref("general.config.filename", "mozilla.cfg");
pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0);

These functions can be used in the mozilla.cfg file: 

defaultPref();	// set new default value
pref();		// set pref, allow changes in current session
lockPref();	// lock pref, disallow changes

//
lockPref("loop.enabled", false);
