1779642 - Firefox View Telemetry

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox :: Firefox View, enhancement)

Description

[Niklas Baumgardner [:niklas]]

• Event telemetry gets sent for:

  • Access to Firefox View (on page load)

  • Try colorways button

    • When colorway is not in use

  • Change colorway button

    • When colorway is in use

  • Continue button

    • Step 1 – signing into FxA account or creating FxA account

  • Get Firefox for mobile button

    • Step 2 – getting Firefox mobile

    • Segment these events based on scenario (i.e. a user already syncing 2 desktop devices vs a user that didn’t have a second device set up initially)

  • Tab Pickup

    • Which tab - first or last - how often a tab is clicked

    • How often a user collapses the tabs list (and reopens it)

  • Recently closed tabs open

    • Which link in the list is opened (with timestamp to measure most recent vs least recent)

    • How often a link in the list is opened

    • How often a user collapses the tabs list (and reopens it)

• Environmental Telemetry:

  • Is Firefox View pref enabled or disabled

  • Tab pickup section - How many tabs are placeholders versus actual tabs in a session
