1787249 - Remove or update probes expiring in Firefox 107: security.ui.protections* when Gecko version increases to 107 on 2022-09-19

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox :: Protections UI, task)

Description

[telemetry-probes]

The following Firefox probes will expire in the next major Firefox nightly release: version 107 [1].

security.ui.protections.show#show
security.ui.protections.close#close
security.ui.protections.click#click
security.ui.app_menu.click#click
security.ui.protectionspopup.open#open
security.ui.protectionspopup.click#click

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 because tests depend on it, e.g. browser/components/protections/test/browser/browser_protections_telemetry.js

Paul, could we get it fixed before the 106 merge? Thanks

The bug is marked as tracked for firefox106 (nightly). We have limited time to fix this, the soft freeze is in 3 days. However, the bug still isn't assigned.

:ckerschb, could you please find an assignee for this tracked bug? If you disagree with the tracking decision, please talk with the release managers.

For more information, please visit auto_nag documentation.

PRELIMINARY NOTES:

The short review form cannot usually be used to go from expiring to non-expiring collections, but given the expediency required here today I suppose I can allow it.

For any future data archaeologists, I am treating this as a full data collection review akin to https://bug1603545.bmoattachments.org/attachment.cgi?id=9117364 but with the answer to "How long this data is collected" replaced with "I want to permanently monitor this data (:pbz)"

DATA COLLECTION REVIEW RESPONSE:

Is there or will there be documentation that describes the schema for the ultimate data set available publicly, complete and accurate?

Yes.

Is there a control mechanism that allows the user to turn the data collection on and off?

Yes. This collection is Telemetry so can be controlled through Firefox's Preferences.

If the request is for permanent data collection, is there someone who will monitor the data over time?

Yes, :pbz is responsible.

Using the category system of data types on the Mozilla wiki, what collection type of data do the requested measurements fall under?

Category 2, Interaction.

Is the data collection request for default-on or default-off?

Default on for all channels.

Does the instrumentation include the addition of any new identifiers?

No.

Is the data collection covered by the existing Firefox privacy notice?

Yes.

Does the data collection use a third-party collection tool?

No.
