1683103 - Remove or update probes expiring in Firefox 87: EXTERNAL_PROTOCOL_HANDLER_DIALOG_CONTEXT_SCHEME

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox :: Security, task)

Description

[telemetry-probes]

The following Firefox probes will expire in the next major Firefox nightly release: version 87 [1].

EXTERNAL_PROTOCOL_HANDLER_DIALOG_CONTEXT_SCHEME

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 #data-help Slack channel or the #telemetry Matrix room at https://chat.mozilla.org/#/room/#telemetry:mozilla.org. We'll give you a hand.

We have the updated probe (including sandbox flags) in 85 and 86. Removing it in 87 sounds good to me.
Does that work for you Johann?

Can we extend this a little longer considering that the project for this isn't done yet? It's useful to have telemetry around until you're done, also to see the shift we might be causing with landing patches. Also, we haven't yet figured out most of the unknown schemes.

I'm wondering if we should keep this indefinitely.

Thanks!
