Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

> * How would Active Daily Users be counted?  Not familiar with how Mozilla gathers metrics like that.

We calculate this from blocklist pings from the browser. The default version of firefox sends blocklist queries once every 24 hours to:

https://addons.mozilla.org/blocklist/3/%APP_ID%/%APP_VERSION%/%PRODUCT%/%BUILD_ID%/%BUILD_TARGET%/%LOCALE%/%CHANNEL%/%OS_VERSION%/%DISTRIBUTION%/%DISTRIBUTION_VERSION%/

%CHANNEL% is set by the browser as "release-cck-<app.partner.*>"

%DISTRIBUTION% is set by the browser from the
value of "id" from the [Global] section of the repacks distribution.ini.

%DISTRIBUTION_VERSION% is set by the browser from the
value of "version" from the [Global] section of the repacks distribution.ini.

Still not entirely sure about how to get access to blocklist pings, but maybe this is something someone from metrics can give me a hand with.  Making a time guesstimate

Adding Ken for comment. Ken, we'd like to be able to do something similar with BYOB builds as what AMO does for addons. This would mean hooking into blocklist pings for ADU report generation. Could you let us know if this is i) feasible and ii) what we should be considering at the design stage?

adding Daniel, as he is more familiar with how we've integrated ADU data with things like AMO and crash reporting.

I think we'd have a few questions though...

- Someone creates a byob browser at http://byob.mozilla.com/
- They then log-in to their account and view download and other statistics to understand the adoption of their browser
- You then want ADU numbers integrated into that?

Am I understanding things correctly?
