1634224 - Extend probes expiring in Firefox 78: browser.startup.*

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox :: General, task, P1)

Description

[telemetry-probes]

The following Firefox probes will expire in the next major Firefox nightly release: version 78 [1].

browser.startup.slow_startup_notification_disabled
browser.startup.too_new_for_notification
browser.startup.slow_startup_notified
browser.startup.recorded_time
browser.startup.average_time
browser.startup.action

What to do about this:

1. If one, some, or all of the metrics are no longer needed, please remove them from their definitions files (Histograms.json, Scalars.yaml, Events.yaml).
2. If one, some, or all of the metrics are still required, please submit a Data Collection Review [2] and patch to extend their expiry. There is a shorter form for data collection renewal [3].

If you have any problems, please ask for help on the #fx-metrics Slack channel or the #telemetry Matrix room at https://chat.mozilla.org/#/room/#telemetry:mozilla.org. We'll give you a hand.

Looks like when it was implemented it stayed in Firefox/General, so moving back.

Mike, do you know if some of these probes are used?

[Mike Conley (:mconley) (:⚙️)]

Yes, I was using them to get a sense of slow startup notification reporting out in the wild. I'd like to keep these if possible.
