1840854 - `XPCOMWillShutdown` is too late for early-shutdown pings to have a chance at being uploaded.

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Toolkit :: Telemetry, defect, P1)

Description

[Chris H-C :chutten]

In bug 1816190 we added an experimentable capability to submit pings "at" shutdown. The idea being that this would give us the ability to try out a faster way to get "baseline" and "events" pings.

However, the phase of shutdown we went for (XPCOMWillShutdown) was the wrong choice. That phase is after AppShutdownNetTeardown meaning that, though we'd successfully submit the pings, there's zero chance we'd be able to upload them.

Instead what we probably want is AppShutdownConfirmed (the phase in which there's no longer anything the user can do to change their mind about shutting down Firefox Desktop).
