I found the toolkit.coverage.enabled pref and this blog post but no indication it is or was ever used?

Implementation back then: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1492656
Indeed default-set to false. Not sure if we ever ran a pref-flip experiment on that?
Regardless, the endpoint that it set (coverage.mozilla.org) doesn't even exist anymore, so even if flipped this code won't work anymore at all.

Hey :rhelmer, do you know of any current or near-future plans to run additional experiments using the "coverage" ping?

Telemetry coverage ping was used for https://blog.mozilla.org/data/2018/08/20/effectively-measuring-search-in-firefox/ (we may have shipped the measurement in an add-on and then moved in-tree, I don't recall).

No plans that I am aware of.

Thanks, :rhelmer.
I guess that means that we can indeed consider this dead code. This is helpful because it means we won't need to migrate it to Glean : ) (( though I expect we will once again have similar questions we wish to answer in this area. At which point we get to figure out again how we want to do that. ))
