From a point of view, this will be unused for a while, as the feature is stalled disabled due to a platform problem (reading large strings from the clipboard causes UI jank).
From another point of view, if we ever solve that technical problem, we'll want this (or a similar probe) to measure long term effects.

browser/components/urlbar/tests/browser/browser_clipboard.js uses this.

We are comfortable with this probe expiring, as the related functionality's dev effort is currently paused. We'll re-add it when we resume.

:cbellini next week is the last week of Nightly for Fx136 before central is bumped to Fx137 on merge day.

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).

Could this be assigned?
