Copying from email:

> The probe takes a non-zero value in the first ping containing devtools activity for a profile and is unset at all other times.

> Defined here: https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/toolkit/components/telemetry/Scalars.yaml#1049

> Introduced in this bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1408339

I'd like to use this flag to help identify new users for retention analyses. I would prefer expires: never because the need for retention analysis is not time-bound but we can always revisit during the 66 cycle.

Based on the previous data review (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1408339#c14), which for some reason had already flagged this as default ON, this is a straightforward probe renewal. datareview+
