1725295 - Remove or update probes expiring in Firefox 94: installation.first_seen#first_seen

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox :: Installer, task)

Description

[telemetry-probes]

The following Firefox probes will expire in the next major Firefox nightly release: version 94 [1].

installation.first_seen#first_seen

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.

Your Friendly, Neighborhood Telemetry Team

[Tracking Requested - why for this release]: The XPCshell test browser/modules/test/unit/test_InstallationTelemetry.js depends on it.

The version bump to 94 is on September 6 so it would be good to have a fix next week, either extending the probes or removing them along with the relevant test changes.

Per separate e-mail can we please extend given there will be follow-up projects leveraging this data point?
