Details

It seems that we have data that indicates that many users open Firefox, use it very briefly, then close it. This could possibly indicate Windows users who click on "X" once they have found what they are looking for, then click on the Firefox icon again for their next search. If so, we might be able to optimize things accordingly.

Some data would be useful to determine if this intuition is correct.
Over to Daniel for assessment from Metrics land.

I'm going to call this one a duplicate of session recording, which FHR already does. We currently record when a session starts and the length of said session and a basic activity amount for a session. We can calculate the session start and end times and therefore can figure out how long Firefox is closed for.

The start and end times are not transmitted (nor should they be). This means the client would have to compute the downtime and send those measurements along with the other session info.
