425736 - Do both count and relative percentage for "active daily users"

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(addons.mozilla.org Graveyard :: Statistics, enhancement)

Description

[Wladimir Palant]

As nice as the "active daily users" statistic is - all extensions show the same trend, and it must have to do with Firefox usage. So the trends you see in the statistics are mostly useless. At the very least it would be nice to have the same numbers available for Firefox as what we have for the extensions themselves. Ideally however we would be able to show percentages in the statistic, like "0.0010% of all Firefox users used your extension in December but in January it was already 0.0011%".

I think this is a really useful idea. It would also mean that we could factor out stuff like an ADU stat that happened to be taken on Christmas Day, for instance. 

I'm not sure about what we have being mostly useless tho - an actual count is really useful as well. Although at the moment there is clearly a serious bug or two with the ADU cound that *does* make it nearly useless - eg bug 422274

Updated the title to say that we want both the actual count (see comment 2) and a relative percentage (see comment 1).

Specific numbers for FF users aren't published like that right now.  If the stats become public we can calculate that (or authors can).
