1867582 - Add telemetry for how often users open multiple tabs of the same SERP containing the same search term

Status: NEW

(Firefox :: Search, task, P3)

Description

[James Teow [:jteow]]

Bug 1866548 should fix the issue where we don't record clicks on SERPs that open in new windows in the new SERP telemetry, but one constraint is if a user has multiple tabs open in with the same search term we won't record anything if they click a link that opens in a new window because we don't currently have a clean way of detecting which specific SERP browser object the new tab belonged to.

One thing we could do is examine the window opener: window.browsingContext.opener, that would handle the same search being open in different windows, but not necessarily where there's two tabs open in the same window.

It would be interesting to know how much this sort of case happens, and therefore figure out how much effort we should spend on handling it (or not).
