1899340 - New Tab Weather Widget: Add "weather enabled" event to telemetry

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Firefox :: New Tab Page, enhancement)

Description

[Maxx Crawford [:maxx]]

Add telemetry event that tracks when users click to turn on/off the Weather widget.

Note there are two locations where users can manage this: the customize panel and the context menu.

We also have the weather_change_display event that sounds very similar to this in name and in its description. Can we add more detail to these events' descriptions, to include the values it might take and to make it very clear what each records? From the Glean dictionary entries, it might be hard for data users to distinguish between these two events.

[Tracking Requested - why for this release]: Really small patch to add a new pref into telemetry. This would be helpful for the 127 experiment.

I have verified this enhancement using Firefox Nightly 128.0a1, Build ID: 20240529214854 using the steps from here and I can confirm that the "newtab.weather_enabled" event is successfully triggered in the Glean Debug Viewer when the Weather option is enabled or disabled from the Sidebar menu of the New Tab or from the "about:preferences#home" page.
