+# Metrics we collect
+
+By default, the about:newtab, about:welcome and about:home pages in Firefox (the pages you see when you open a new tab and when you start the browser), will send data back to Mozilla servers about usage of these pages. The intent is to collect data in order to improve the user's experience while using Activity Stream. Data about your specific browsing behaior or the sites you visit is **never transmitted to any Mozilla server**. At any time, it is easy to **turn off** this data collection by [opting out of Firefox telemetry](https://support.mozilla.org/kb/share-telemetry-data-mozilla-help-improve-firefox).
+
+Data is sent to our servers in the form of discrete HTTPS 'pings' or messages whenever you do some action on the Activity Stream about:home, about:newtab or about:welcome pages. We try to minimize the amount and frequency of pings by batching them together. Pings are sent in [JSON serialized format](http://www.js.org/).
+
+At Mozilla, [we take your privacy very seriously](https://www.mozilla.org/privacy/). The Activity Stream page will never send any data that could personally identify you. We do not transmit what you are browsing, searches you perform or any private settings. Activity Stream does not set or send cookies, and uses [Transport Layer Security](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transport_Layer_Security) to securely transmit data to Mozilla servers.
+
+Data collected from Activity Stream is retained on Mozilla secured servers for a period of 30 days before being rolled up into an anonymous aggregated format. After this period the raw data is deleted permanently. Mozilla **never shares data with any third party**.
+
+The following is a detailed overview of the different kinds of data we collect in the Activity Stream. See [data_dictionary.md](data_dictionary.md) for more details for each field.
+
+## Page takeover ping
+
+This ping is submitted once upon Activity Stream initialization if either about:home or about:newtab are set to a custom URL. It sends the category of the custom URL. It also includes the web extension id of the extension controlling the home and/or newtab page.

+## User event pings

+
+## Session end pings
+
+When a session ends, the browser will send a `"activity_stream_session"` ping to our metrics servers. This ping contains the length of the session, a unique reason for why the session ended, and some additional metadata.
+
+### Basic event
+
+All `"activity_stream_session"` pings have the following basic shape. Some fields are variable.
+
+```js
+{
+ "action": "activity_stream_session",
+ "client_id": "26288a14-5cc4-d14f-ae0a-bb01ef45be9c",
+ "session_id": "005deed0-e3e4-4c02-a041-17405fd703f6",
+ "addon_version": "20180710100040",
+ "locale": "en-US",
+ "page": ["about:newtab" | "about:home" | "about:welcome" | "unknown"],
+ "session_duration": 4199,
+ "profile_creation_date": 14786,
+ "experiments": {
+ "experiment_1": { "branch": "control" },
+ "experiment_2": { "branch": "treatment" }
+ },
+ "user_prefs": 7
+}
+```
+
+### What causes a session end?
+
+Here are different scenarios that cause a session end event to be sent:
+
+1. After a search
+2. Clicking on something that causes navigation (top site, highlight, etc.)
+3. Closing the browser
+4. Refreshing
+5. Navigating to a new URL via the url bar or file menu
+
+### Session performance data
+
+This data is held in a child object of the `activity_stream_session` event called `perf`. All fields suffixed by `_ts` are type `DOMHighResTimeStamp` (aka a double of milliseconds, with a 5 microsecond precision) with 0 being the [timeOrigin](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/DOMHighResTimeStamp#The_time_origin) of the browser's hidden chrome window.
+
+An example might look like this:
+
+```js
+perf: {
+ // Timestamp of the action perceived by the user to trigger the load
+ // of this page.
+ //
+ // Not required at least for error cases where the
+ // observer event doesn't fire
+ "load_trigger_ts": 1,
+
+ // What was the perceived trigger of the load action:
+ "load_trigger_type": [
+ "first_window_opened" | // home only
+ "menu_plus_or_keyboard" | // newtab only
+ "unexpected" // sessions lacking actual start times
+ ],
+
+ // when the page itself receives an event that document.visibilityStat=visible
+ "visibility_event_rcvd_ts": 2,
+
+ // When did the topsites element finish painting? Note that, at least for
+ // the first tab to be loaded, and maybe some others, this will be before
+ // topsites has yet to receive screenshots updates from the add-on code,
+ // and is therefore just showing placeholder screenshots.
+ "topsites_first_painted_ts": 5,
+
+ // The 6 different types of TopSites icons and how many of each kind did the
+ // user see.
+ "topsites_icon_stats": {
+ "custom_screenshot": 0,
+ "screenshot_with_icon": 2,
+ "screenshot": 1,

+ },
+
+ // The number of Top Sites that are pinned.
+ "topsites_pinned": 3,
+
+ // The number of search shortcut Top Sites.
+ "topsites_search_shortcuts": 2,
+
+ // How much longer the data took, in milliseconds, to be ready for display
+ // than it would have been in the ideal case. The user currently sees placeholder
+ // cards instead of real cards for approximately this length of time. This is
+ // sent when the first call of the component's `render()` method happens with
+ // `this.props.initialized` set to `false`, and the value is the amount of
+ // time in ms until `render()` is called with `this.props.initialized` set to `true`.
+ "highlights_data_late_by_ms": 67,
+ "topsites_data_late_by_ms": 35,
+
+ // Whether the page is preloaded or not.
+ "is_preloaded": [true|false],
+}
+```
+
+## Top Story pings
+
+When Top Story (currently powered by Pocket) is enabled in Activity Stream, the browser will send following `activity_stream_impression_stats` to our metrics servers.
+
+### Impression stats
+
+This reports all the Pocket recommended articles (a list of `id`s) when the user opens a newtab.
+
+```js
+{
+ "impression_id": "{005deed0-e3e4-4c02-a041-17405fd703f6}",
+ "addon_version": "20180710100040",

+ },
+ "tiles": [{"id": 10000}, {"id": 10001}, {"id": 10002}]
+}
+```
+
+### Click/block/save_to_pocket ping
+
+This reports the user's interaction with those Pocket tiles.
+
+```js
+{
+ "impression_id": "{005deed0-e3e4-4c02-a041-17405fd703f6}",

+
+ // "pos" is the 0-based index to record the tile's position in the Pocket section.
+ // "shim" is a base64 encoded shim attached to spocs, unique to the impression from the Ad server.
+ "tiles": [{"id": 10000, "pos": 0, "shim": "enuYa1j73z3RzxgTexHNxYPC/b,9JT6w5KB0CRKYEU+"}],
+
+ // A 0-based index to record which tile in the "tiles" list that the user just interacted with.
+ "click|block|pocket": 0
+}
+```
+
+## Save to Pocket button pings
+
+Right now the save to Pocket button, while technically outside of newtab, has some similarities with the newtab telemetry.
+
+These pings record user interaction with the save to Pocket button.
+
+### Click/impression ping
+
+```js

+
+### Impression ping
+
+This reports the impression of Activity Stream Router.
+

+
+## Messaging-experiments pings
+
+As the new experiment platform, the Messaging experiment manager is now managing & operating all the experiments of Firefox Messaging System, including the first-run experience (about:welcome), CFR, Whats-new-panel, Moments Page, and Snippets.
+
+### Enrollment & Unenrollment pings
+
+Under the hood, the experiment manager makes use of Normandy API for experiment management (enrollment & unenrollment as well as the corresponding telemetry). Therefore, the enrollment & unenrollment pings are collected through the Normandy counterparts. See [`normandy` category](https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/toolkit/components/telemetry/Events.yaml#441) for more details.
+
+### Experiment reach ping
+
+This records whether a branch's targeting is satisfied for Messaging System experiments. All qualified branch ID(s) will be recorded in the `extra_keys` for each active experiment, and the event `value` will be the experiment ID (i.e. slug).
+
+Unlike other Activity Stream pings, this is a Firefox Events telemetry event, and it is sent only for users enrolled in a Messaging System experiment.
+
+```js
+{
+ "category": "messaging_experiments",
+ "method": "reach",
+ // any of ["cfr", "whats_new_panel", "moments_page", "snippets", "cfr_fxa"]
+ "object": "cfr"
+ "value": "experiment_message_id",
+ "extra_keys": {
+ // A semicolon separated string with all the qualified branch IDs
+ "branches": "control;variant_1;variant_2"
+ }
+}
+```
+
+### Experiment attribute errors
+
+This records whether issues were encountered with any of the targeting attributes used in the experiment enrollment or message targeting.
+Two different types of events are sent: `attribute_error` and `attribute_timeout` along with the attribute that caused it. An attribute
+is a variable inside the JEXL targeting expression that is evaluated client side by the browser.
+
+```js
+{
+ "messaging_experiments",
+ "targeting",
+ "attribute_error", // event
+ "foo", // attribute,
+ "extra_keys": {
+ "source": "message id or experiment slug",
+ },
+},
+{
+ "messaging_experiments",
+ "targeting",
+ "attribute_timeout", // event
+ "bar", // attribute,
+ "extra_keys": {
+ "source": "message id or experiment slug",
+ },
+}
+```
+
+## Firefox Onboarding (about:welcome) pings
+
+These record the telemetry metrics during the Firefox onboarding experience.

+## Feature Callout pings
+
+Most interactions and impressions in Feature Callouts are handled by the Onboarding pings above, but since Feature Callouts are inserted into other content, they have some additional capabilities.
+
+### Page event ping for Feature Callouts
+
+Feature Callout messages can include properties to listen for specific events on the host page and perform an action when fired. For example, Feature Callouts pointing to a button can be dismissed when that button is clicked. This metric records the event type, event target, and action.
+
+```js
+{
+ "experiments": {},
+ "locale": "en-US",
+ "version": "107.0a1",
+ "release_channel": "default",
+ "event": "PAGE_EVENT",
+ "event_context": {
+ "action": "DISMISS",
+ "reason": "CLICK",
+ "source": "button.primary#some-button",
+ "page": "about:firefoxview"
+ },
+ "message_id": "FIREFOX_VIEW_TAB_PICKUP_REMINDER",
+ "addon_version": "20221013100028",
+ "client_id": "26288a14-5cc4-d14f-ae0a-bb01ef45be9c",
+ "browser_session_id": "e7e52665-7db3-f348-9918-e93160eb2ef3"
+}
+```
+
+### Feature Callout dismissal
+
+A Feature Callout can be dismissed by clicking its dismiss button directly or pressing the Escape key. With a page event listener, it can also be configured to dismiss the callout when an event in the page happens, such as clicking the target of the callout (see the page event ping above).
+
+```js
+{
+ "experiments": {},
+ "locale": "en-US",
+ "version": "108.0a1",
+ "release_channel": "default",
+ "event": "DISMISS",
+ "event_context": {
