We have several reports of issues caused by running Firefox directly from the .DMG (disk image file) instead of out of /Applications. We should address those problems (see bug 1314074), but it would be helpful to understand how big of a problem it is. Assuming telemetry is functional in this state, we should temporarily collect some data that tells us if Firefox is being run from a .DMG.
