In the daily ping for updates sent to AUS, Firefox should send the date that
Firefox was originally installed on the computer to allow us to measure
attrition rates.  Because there may be issues with clients that ping repeatedly,
the date should actually be a timestamp with resolution to the second.  An even
better solution would be to use a unique ID which encodes the date of install
but there are privacy implications to doing that.
