Details

Whilst playing around, I just noticed that we don't always reset the telemetry environment for the default private engine.

STR

  • Turn on the UI enabled pref.
  • Set an engine for private mode that's different to the main engine.
  • Check the environment data in about:telemetry
  • Check the "Use this search engine in Private Windows" box
  • Check the environment data again (reload the page)

Expect Results

The environment data is no longer shown for the default private engine.

This would be correctly reset after a restart.

Actual Results

The out of date environment data continues being shown for the default private engine.

Talking to the telemetry team, it seems that we should be ok to do something like delete this._currentEnvironment.settings.defaultPrivateSearchEngine in TelemetryEnvironment.jsm when we don't have those objects.
