1409793 - Normalize webext panels or ignore them in toolbox open telemetry

Status: NEW

(DevTools :: General, enhancement, P3)

Description

[Alexandre Poirot [:ochameau]]

See https://mzl.la/2gP5Mnv
Click on "inspector", you will see a bunch of results for a couple of webextension panels. It looks like the panel id isn't unique and you get multiple results for the same add-on.

We should either ignore custom panels, or record them into one unique telemetry entry, or just ignore them for now.


These panel IDs are computed over here:

I'd think it is fine to ignore them for now. They are easy enough to filter out in our own tracking (as tmo doesn't work well for tracking the trends).
