According to the Firefox Probe Explorer [0], the WEBEXT_* probes in release are set to expire in Firefox 62. Given there are plans to use these probes to track webextension performance, we (myself and the add-ons team) need these probes in telemetry for the foreseeable future.

Bug 1452685 - Extend existing WebExtension telemetry probes to expire on version 67.

https://reviewboard.mozilla.org/r/241436/#review249598

This is fine (minus the one nit), but generally I see people asking for $CURRENT_NIGHTLY + 5 (so, 67) for "foreseeable future, but not permanent" requests. Feel free to bump it up to anything <= 67.

You're pushing them to 65, not 64. (Though, yes, you are correct that 64 would be the final version they'd be recorded in)

DATA COLLECTION REVIEW RESPONSE:

Previous data collection review (bug 1353172) was not using the current forms, so the full Data Collection Request is needed (and is included on this bug). So let's proceed with the response:

    Is there or will there be documentation that describes the schema for the ultimate data set available publicly, complete and accurate?

Yes. Standard Telemetry mechanisms apply.

    Is there a control mechanism that allows the user to turn the data collection on and off?

Yes. Standard Telemetry mechanisms apply.

    If the request is for permanent data collection, is there someone who will monitor the data over time?**

Request is not for permanent collection.

    Using the category system of data types on the Mozilla wiki, what collection type of data do the requested measurements fall under?

Category 1

    Is the data collection request for default-on or default-off?

default-on

    Does the instrumentation include the addition of any new identifiers (whether anonymous or otherwise; e.g., username, random IDs, etc. See the appendix for more details)?

No.

    Is the data collection covered by the existing Firefox privacy notice?

It is covered.

    Does there need to be a check-in in the future to determine whether to renew the data? (Yes/No) 

Yes. :rpl, could you take care of filing the follow-up bug?

Bug 1452685 - Extend existing WebExtension telemetry probes to expire on version 67.

https://reviewboard.mozilla.org/r/241436/#review249598

Thanks for pointing it out, we have briefly discussed about it and decided to bump it to 67 as suggested.

> You're pushing them to 65, not 64. (Though, yes, you are correct that 64 would be the final version they'd be recorded in)

I've updated the commit messege to mention the new expire version (instead of the last version on which the probes are still non-expired).
