Might also be good to list it in the telemetry environment? That way gfx telemetry-inspecting studies can filter them out. https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/13788edbabb04d004e4a1ceff41d4de68a8320a2/toolkit/components/telemetry/app/TelemetryEnvironment.jsm#183

Anyway, it doesn't hurt adding a bool there, too, I guess.
Going to wait until bug 1507595 lands (should be within the next week or 2) in order to avoid make-work here to convert the new l10n stuff to fluent, as this isn't urgent (66 doesn't branch until end of Jan, so we have ~5 weeks anyway).
Depends on: 1507595

Not sure if you have to change the schemas so that pings still validate (check https://github.com/mozilla-services/mozilla-pipeline-schemas and/or have a chat with :mreid).

I think I'm OK, but I'd be more sure if :mreid could confirm.

Request for data collection review form

  1. What questions will you answer with this data?

Whether the low-end device adaptation is effective at improving Firefox performance and/or (as a result) user retention.

  1. Why does Mozilla need to answer these questions? Are there benefits for users? Do we need this information to address product or business requirements?
  • Establish baselines or measure changes in product or platform quality or performance.

  • Provide information essential for advancing a business objective such as supporting OKRs.

  • Determine whether a product or platform change has an effect on user or browser behavior.

^^ All of the example responses apply.

  1. What alternative methods did you consider to answer these questions? Why were they not sufficient?

The existing telemetry could be checked to see if the user's machine specs fit the criteria, but this would cause false positives/negatives if people change any preferences, and would be more difficult to check. This also ensures that if/when we run a shield study, there's a single thing to check between cohorts, also to observe if anyone explicitly opted out/in (via about:config, unless we create a more visible point and/or via resistFingerprinting support)

  1. Can current instrumentation answer these questions?
    Not realistically (ie not without access to all user prefs and a bunch of logic in queries that will make them harder to get right).

  2. List all proposed measurements and indicate the category of data collection for each measurement, using the Firefox data collection categories on the Mozilla wiki.

A bool in the environment that captures whether Firefox is treating the machine as low-spec and is adapting various perf-sensitive thresholds/constants accordingly. This is category 1 data, in that we're measuring the technical result of the machine perf and any user choices relating to that machine perf (just like, for instance, "is webrender enabled").

  1. How long will this data be collected? Choose one of the following:

Indefinitely, because that's the only way to collect env data. I do not intend to monitor the data itself specifically and continuously, but if you need to put someone's name down it can be mine.

  1. What populations will you measure?

All countries/locales/channels, though the feature itself is currently behind EARLY_BETA, so it'll basically be false everywhere on release / late beta.

  1. If this data collection is default on, what is the opt-out mechanism for users?

General telemetry measures.

  1. Please provide a general description of how you will analyze this data.

custom sql and/or redash/python queries, plus sanity checks using more high-level tools.

  1. Where do you intend to share the results of your analysis?

public blog / mailing lists (in anon + collective form, of course).

Looks good, adding this new field will not cause existing schema validation to fail. We should add this field to the schema though, I've submitted a PR here: https://github.com/mozilla-services/mozilla-pipeline-schemas/pull/241

Preliminary notes:

In future please attach the review form as an attachment to the bug to make it easier to track review flags and find Data Reviews in the future. BMO at this time will treat markdown attachments as plain text, but I'm told this will change in the near term.

DATA COLLECTION REVIEW RESPONSE:

Is there or will there be documentation that describes the schema for the ultimate data set available publicly, complete and accurate?

Yes. This collection is part of the Telemetry Environment so is documented in the in-tree documentation.

Is there a control mechanism that allows the user to turn the data collection on and off?

Yes. This collection is Telemetry so can be controlled through Firefox's Preferences.

If the request is for permanent data collection, is there someone who will monitor the data over time?

Yes. :Gijs is responsible for this metric.

Using the category system of data types on the Mozilla wiki, what collection type of data do the requested measurements fall under?

Category 1, Technical.

Is the data collection request for default-on or default-off?

Default on, all channels (though locked to false for late beta and release)

Does the instrumentation include the addition of any new identifiers?

No.

Is the data collection covered by the existing Firefox privacy notice?

Yes.

Does there need to be a check-in in the future to determine whether to renew the data?

No. This collection is permanent.
