In Bug 654550 we created a pref that disables video statistics. It would be great to learn how often the API is used.

Tom,
It looks like currently it[1] is enabled.. 
What do you want to know from it?

We'd just like to know how often the feature is used. As we investigate the possibilities of creating an anti-fingerprinting mode, usage of each individual feature will tell us how 'safe' it is to include it.
