1725298 - Remove or update probes expiring in Firefox 94: os.environment.*

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Firefox :: Shell Integration, task)

Description

[telemetry-probes]

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

os.environment.launch_method
os.environment.is_taskbar_pinned

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.

[Tracking Requested - why for this release]: The mochitest-browser-chrome test browser/components/tests/browser/browser_browserGlue_telemetry.js depends on it.
