Status: NEW

Description

Time the profile manager is open is counted in startup time, and we don't want that. See bug 670194 comments 22-26.

Don't we measure startup from the process start time? The profile manager launches a new process, so I don't think it should be affected.

exec()ing a process replaces existing process(ie keeps pid, etc).

Benjamin, see bug 670194 comment 26 which Margaret referred to in comment 0. It's a quick test that removes the need for speculation. I have Telemetry reporting enabled but all my startup data that are reported are bogus due to this bug, as I'm sure is true for most Nightly users.

ok. This is Linux-only then, since every other platform actually launches a new process and doesen't just exec().
