1128121 - [e10s] Collect telemetry for the multiprocessCompatible flag

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1358620

(Toolkit :: Add-ons Manager, defect, P3)

Description

[Dave Townsend [:mossop]]

Split off from bug 1040158.

Chris I'm, unsure exactly what we want here, do you just want to add the multiprocessCompatible flag to the existing add-on data in telemetry or is there something else?

Comment 1

[Chris Peterson [:cpeterson]]

Good question. I *think* that bug was suggesting we collect telemetry on add-ons that claim to be multiprocessCompatible but hit shim code paths. However, that information wouldn't be actionable because we wouldn't know which "compatible" add-ons are hitting which shims. We can probably WONTFIX.

Bill should know.

This isn't actionable until we have decided what we want here and doesn't seem like it should be m5 fodder anyway.

Well, Blair originally asked for this in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1029926#c11. I suspect he just wanted to find out how many add-ons are marked multiprocess compatible.

Comment 4

[Blair McBride [:Unfocused] (UNAVAILABLE)]

IIRC, I was just thinking of having that flag added to the existing add-ons details in telemetry.

We've decided the last time that this should be a plus instead of m8 but I can't set it to + only to re-triage...

Comment 6

[Brad Lassey [:blassey] (use needinfo?)]

Bill, do we still want this?

Comment 7

[Bill McCloskey [inactive unless it's an emergency] (:billm)]

It might be nice to have, but it's not very important.

[Andrew Swan [:aswan]]

This got added in the referenced bug.
