Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Privacy: Anti-Tracking, task)

Description

[telemetry-probes]

The following Firefox probes will expire in the next major Firefox nightly release: version 132 [1].

CANVAS_FINGERPRINTING_PER_TAB
FONT_FINGERPRINTING_PER_TAB

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 patch to extend their expiry.

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.

Tim, just making sure this does not fall off the radar. Not sure if you are the right person to take care of it. If not, please help me find someone.

Tracking because toolkit/components/resistfingerprinting/tests/browser/browser_canvas_fingerprinter_telemetry.js checks for this.

There is also a test (toolkit/components/resistfingerprinting/tests/browser/browser_font_fingerprinter_telemetry.js) for the font version. That probe should also be extended.
