Shipping the search reset feature has been delayed as we want to test it with a Shield experiment before deploying to all the release population, so we very much need this probe for another couple months. Bumping to 57 to add 4 releases / about 6 months.

I find it strange that the test fails with the histogram containing random values, rather than an exception saying the histogram doesn't exist, but I verified locally that bumping the version limit on the probe is all it takes to fix this.

Should a followup bug be filed on that issue?

Is it the expected behavior that reading data from an expired histogram using Services.telemetry.getHistogramById(name).snapshot() returns odd values? I would have expected that to throw an exception.

Hopefully Georg knows.

There is a bug tree at bug 1311100 for addressing semantic weirdness of the Telemetry APIs in exceptional cases. This one in particular isn't called out, so I'll wait for :gfritzsche's ni? then file a bug :)

As opposed to even values?  (Sorry I could not resist) ;-)

This is a quirk of the histogram expiry implementation. (all expired histograms are treated as the same one histogram).
I filed bug 1317702 about this.
