Telemetry API Experiment

WebExtensions Experiment to implement a browser.telemetry API.

Why?

When Mozilla develops an add-on, it needs access to send data to the Telemetry Pipeline, so we can measure its events and effects.

Requirements

Firefox Developer Edition or Nightly

Run it

Install via `.xpi` file:

Build the .xpi file with zip: zip web-ext-telemetry-api-experiment.xpi api.js install.rdf schema.json
Go to about:addons, click "Install Add-on From File...", and choose the .xpi file

Load the `install.rdf` file:

Go to about:debugging, click "Load Temporary Add-on", and choose the install.rdf file

Tips

When you are working on a WebExtension add-on that uses browser.telemetry, it helps to install this .xpi file into a special web-ext-telemetry-api-experiment Firefox profile, and then use web-ext to run your add-on with the profile.

web-ext run -p /path/to/Profiles/web-ext-telemetry-api-experiment --firefox-binary /path/to/aurora|nightly
