1426479 - [tracker] Firefox Browser Chrome JS Error Collection

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Socorro :: General, task)

Description

[Osmose [:osmose, :mkelly]]

The goal of this project is to evaluate the utility of collecting JavaScript errors in the Firefox browser chrome. We suspect that many of these errors are going unreported by users (as they only show up in the browser console), and many more that are eventually caught by our QA process could be caught and resolved faster with an automated collection system.

We have already run a preliminary study (bug 1423784) that confirmed the order of magnitude of errors occurring on Nightly to aid with load-testing Sentry for use in a prototype.

Is this project done now? If so, can we close out this and other remaining bugs?

Not yet, there's still some pending cleanup todo, I'd like to keep this open until that work finishes up.

I guess we can call this complete, there is the minor leftover of the rate-limiting sentry rules but I don't think keeping this tracking bug open for that will help much.
