I think we want to collect two items:
1. the time in black for fullscreen
2. whether the transition is ended by an after-paint event or timeout
Attachment #8750172 - Flags: feedback?(benjamin)
Two telemetry items are added in this patch:
1. FULLSCREEN_TRANSITION_BLACK_MS to measure how long users experience in completely black screen, and it could also be used to measure whether our current timeout setting works well.
2. FULLSCREEN_CHANGE_MS to measure how long do we actually take for the content to do fullscreen change. This is something we should improve. And we may use this as a guide for a probably better default timeout value.

FULLSCREEN_TRANSITION_BLACK_MS is collected only if fullscreen transition is active (neither disabled by user nor by system capacity), while FULLSCREEN_CHANGE_MS is recorded regardless of that.
Ok, so we're not trying to capture "2. whether the transition is ended by an after-paint event or timeout" data.

Those fixed or explained, r+.
I'm pretty sure you want exponential, linear would be better for percentiles and so.

Curious, why do we want linear here and not exponential? Looks like most (or all other?) users of AccumulateTimeDelta use exponential.

OK, after investigating a bit how the bucket range is calculated, I guess you are right. We'll need a "low" as well if we use exponential.

I didn't know MozReview cancels r? automatically...

f? for data collection review.
Attachment #8750172 - Flags: feedback?(benjamin)
A note that TelemetryStopwatch.jsm could also be used instead of manually working with Dates.
Ni? myself for the improvement in comment 9. I wasn't aware of that.

I think this should be mentioned in the MDN page. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Performance/Adding_a_new_Telemetry_probe

I'm making some assumptions here:
1) This never expires because it's an important ongoing performance measurement that your team is responsible for
2) The telemetry alerting mechanism is good enough to warn you about regressions

If I'm right about this, then data-review=me

If this is more of an exploratory measurement, you should make it expire in 6 months rather than expires="never"

Hey xidorn, this is blocking an e10s related bug that's in the e10s triage queue and might block rollout. we would appreciate it if you could push this along and get it landed. (potentially land this on aurora and beta too?)

Yes, this is an ongoing performance measurement we want to monitor. For short term, it also serves as an exploratory measurement, though.
Will wait for this to land on Nightly before uplifting to Beta/Aurora.

The e10s team would like these probes in beta 47 to diagnose how bad bug 1266799 is.

Hello Xidorn, I hope you have verified the telemetry data coming from Nightly is as expected. This helps minimize code churn on Aurora and Beta channels. Thanks!
Flags: needinfo?(bugzilla)
I haven't seen any telemetry data from Nightly coming in. The entries are not even listed in the dashboard yet. I'll check it in the following days, and see whether they look fine.
Hitting conflicts uplifting this to aurora:

There is one day data comes in now. It seems to me the data makes sense.
