1911280 - Drop in add-ons daily usage

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Fenix :: WebExtensions, defect)

Description

[William Durand [:willdurand]]

Attachment: ADU on Fenix over time (~August 2023 / August 2024)

Similar to Bug 1904702, though we noticed that relatively late, we're observing less daily users for add-ons on Android since June 2024 (via the amo_stats_dau table, cf. Bug 1643683). See: https://sql.telemetry.mozilla.org/queries/95973/source#237034 (behind auth so I attached a screenshot too).

We've confirmed with :janerik that we could set lifetime: application to the installed_addons and enabled_addons Glean probes to fix this problem and get more realistic data.

:willdurand do you want to add a release uplift request on this, or should it ride the train with Fx130?
We could include it in the Fx129 planned dot release scheduled for 2024-08-20

Hi. Yes, I would love to get that uplifted to release (129). Since we landed this fix relatively late and then we were in the merge/release days, I didn't submit anything and wanted to ask you first. Thanks for asking me ;-) I'll submit an uplift request!

This just needs an uplift request form. You can add it in the phabricator revision by selecting Change Uplift Request form
btw The request will pend until closer to the planned release date and we'll uplift it then

[Phabricator Automation]

release Uplift Approval Request

• User impact if declined: None, this does not affect users at all. Add-ons developers are impacted in a way, because they see less daily users on Android compared to before.
• Code covered by automated testing: no
• Fix verified in Nightly: no
• Needs manual QE test: no
• Steps to reproduce for manual QE testing: None
• Risk associated with taking this patch: Low
• Explanation of risk level: Low because the change is only in the metrics configuration and should not change the behavior of the application.
• String changes made/needed: None
• Is Android affected?: yes
