Environment
===========
The environment consists of data that is expected to be characteristic for performance and other behavior and not expected to change too often.
Changes to most of these data points are detected (where possible and sensible) and will lead to a session split in the :doc:`main-ping`.
The environment data may also be submitted by other ping types.
*Note:* This is not submitted with all ping types due to privacy concerns. This and other data is inspected under the `data collection policy <https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/Data_Collection>`_.
Some parts of the environment must be fetched asynchronously at startup. We don't want other Telemetry components to block on waiting for the environment, so some items may be missing from it until the async fetching finished.
This currently affects the following sections:
- profile
- add-ons
- services

build
-----
buildId
~~~~~~~
Firefox builds downloaded from mozilla.org use a 14-digit buildId. Builds included in other distributions may have a different format (e.g. only 10 digits).
Settings
--------
defaultSearchEngine
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Note: Deprecated, use defaultSearchEngineData instead.
Contains the string identifier or name of the default search engine provider. This will not be present in environment data collected before the Search Service initialization.
The special value ``NONE`` could occur if there is no default search engine.
The special value ``UNDEFINED`` could occur if a default search engine exists but its identifier could not be determined.
This field's contents are ``Services.search.defaultEngine.identifier`` (if defined) or ``"other-"`` + ``Services.search.defaultEngine.name`` if not. In other words, search engines without an ``.identifier`` are prefixed with ``other-``.
defaultSearchEngineData
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Contains data identifying the engine currently set as the default.
The object contains:
- a ``name`` property with the name of the engine, or ``NONE`` if no
engine is currently set as the default.
- a ``loadPath`` property: an anonymized path of the engine xml file, e.g.
jar:[app]/omni.ja!browser/engine.xml
(where 'browser' is the name of the chrome package, not a folder)
[profile]/searchplugins/engine.xml
[distribution]/searchplugins/common/engine.xml
[other]/engine.xml
[other]/addEngineWithDetails
[other]/addEngineWithDetails:extensionID
[http/https]example.com/engine-name.xml
[http/https]example.com/engine-name.xml:extensionID
- an ``origin`` property: the value will be ``default`` for engines that are built-in or from distribution partners, ``verified`` for user-installed engines with valid verification hashes, ``unverified`` for non-default engines without verification hash, and ``invalid`` for engines with broken verification hashes.
- a ``submissionURL`` property with the HTTP url we would use to search.
For privacy, we don't record this for user-installed engines.
``loadPath`` and ``submissionURL`` are not present if ``name`` is ``NONE``.
defaultPrivateSearchEngineData
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This contains the data identifying the engine current set as the default for
private browsing mode. This may be the same engine as set for normal browsing
mode.
This object contains the same information as ``defaultSearchEngineData``. It
is only reported if the ``browser.search.separatePrivateDefault`` preference is
set to ``true``.
userPrefs
~~~~~~~~~
This object contains user preferences.
Each key in the object is the name of a preference. A key's value depends on the policy with which the preference was collected. There are three such policies, "value", "state", and "default value". For preferences collected under the "value" policy, the value will be the preference's value. For preferences collected under the "state" policy, the value will be an opaque marker signifying only that the preference has a user value. The "state" policy is therefore used when user privacy is a concern. For preferences collected under the "default value" policy, the value will be the preference's default value, if the preference exists. If the preference does not exist, there is no key or value.
The following is a partial list of `collected preferences <https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/search?q=const+DEFAULT_ENVIRONMENT_PREFS&path=>`_.
- ``browser.migrate.interactions.bookmarks``: True if the user has imported bookmarks from another browser before. This preference gets transferred during profile resets.
- ``browser.migrate.interactions.csvpasswords``: True if the user has imported passwords through the migration wizard from a CSV file. This preference gets transferred during profile resets.
- ``browser.migrate.interactions.history``: True if the user has imported history from another browser before. This preference gets transferred during profile resets.
- ``browser.migrate.interactions.passwords``: True if the user has imported passwords from another browser before. This preference gets transferred during profile resets.
- ``browser.privatebrowsing.autostart``: True if the user has enabled the permanent private browsing mode. Defaults to false.
- ``browser.search.suggest.enabled``: The "master switch" for search suggestions everywhere in Firefox (search bar, urlbar, etc.). Defaults to true.
- ``browser.urlbar.autoFill``: The global preference for whether autofill in the urlbar is enabled. When false, all types of autofill are disabled.
- ``browser.urlbar.autoFill.adaptiveHistory.enabled``: True if adaptive history autofill in the urlbar is enabled.
- ``browser.urlbar.dnsResolveSingleWordsAfterSearch``: Controls when to DNS resolve single word search strings, after they were searched for. If the string is resolved as a valid host, show a "Did you mean to go to 'host'" prompt. 0: Never resolve, 1: Use heuristics, 2. Always resolve. Defaults to 0.
- ``browser.urlbar.quicksuggest.onboardingDialogChoice``: The user's choice in the Firefox Suggest onboarding dialog. If the dialog was shown multiple times, this records the user's most recent choice. Values are the following. Empty string: The user has not made a choice (e.g., because the dialog hasn't been shown). ``accept_2`` is recorded when the user accepts the dialog and opts in, ``reject_2`` is recorded when the user rejects the dialog and opts out, ``learn_more_1`` is recorded when the user clicks "Learn more" on the introduction section (the user remains opted out), ``learn_more_2`` is recorded when the user clicks "Learn more" on the main section (the user remains opted out), ``close_1`` is recorded when the user clicks close button on the introduction section (the user remains opted out), ``not_now_2`` is recorded when the user clicks "Not now" link on main section (the user remains opted out), ``dismiss_1`` recorded when the user dismisses the dialog on the introduction section (the user remains opted out), ``dismiss_2`` recorded when the user dismisses the dialog on main (the user remains opted out).
- ``browser.urlbar.quicksuggest.dataCollection.enabled``: Whether the user has opted in to data collection for Firefox Suggest. This pref is set to true when the user opts in to the Firefox Suggest onboarding dialog modal. The user can also toggle the pref using a toggle switch in the Firefox Suggest preferences UI.
- ``browser.urlbar.showSearchTerms.enabled``: True if to show the search term in the urlbar while on a default search engine results page.
- ``browser.urlbar.suggest.quicksuggest.nonsponsored``: True if non-sponsored Firefox Suggest suggestions are enabled in the urlbar.
- ``browser.urlbar.suggest.quicksuggest.sponsored``: True if sponsored Firefox Suggest suggestions are enabled in the urlbar.
- ``browser.urlbar.suggest.searches``: True if search suggestions are enabled in the urlbar. Defaults to false.
- ``browser.zoom.full`` (deprecated): True if zoom is enabled for both text and images, that is if "Zoom Text Only" is not enabled. Defaults to true. This preference was collected in Firefox 50 to 52 (`Bug 979323 <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=979323>`_).
- ``security.tls.version.enable-deprecated``: True if deprecated versions of TLS (1.0 and 1.1) have been enabled by the user. Defaults to false.
- ``privacy.firstparty.isolate``: True if the user has changed the (unsupported, hidden) First Party Isolation preference. Defaults to false.

attribution
~~~~~~~~~~~
This object contains the attribution data for the product installation.
Attribution data is used to link installations of Firefox with the source that the user arrived at the Firefox download page from. It would indicate, for instance, when a user executed a web search for Firefox and arrived at the download page from there, directly navigated to the site, clicked on a link from a particular social media campaign, etc.
The attribution data is included in some versions of the default Firefox installer for Windows (the "stub" installer) and stored as part of the installation. All platforms other than Windows and also Windows installations that did not use the stub installer do not have this data and will not include the ``attribution`` object.
sandbox
~~~~~~~
This object contains data about the state of Firefox's sandbox.
Specific keys are:
- ``effectiveContentProcessLevel``: The meanings of the values are OS dependent. Details of the meanings can be found in the `Firefox prefs file <https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/file/tip/browser/app/profile/firefox.js>`_. The value here is the effective value, not the raw value, some platforms enforce a minimum sandbox level. If there is an error calculating this, it will be ``null``.
- ``contentWin32kLockdownState``: The status of Win32k Lockdown for Content process.
- LockdownEnabled = 1 - After Firefox 98, this value will no longer appear in Telemetry.
- MissingWebRender = 2
- OperatingSystemNotSupported = 3
- PrefNotSet = 4 - After Firefox 98, this value will no longer appear in Telemetry.
- MissingRemoteWebGL = 5
- MissingNonNativeTheming = 6
- DisabledByEnvVar = 7 - MOZ_ENABLE_WIN32K is set
- DisabledBySafeMode = 8
- DisabledByE10S = 9 - E10S is disabled for whatever reason
- DisabledByUserPref = 10 - The user manually set security.sandbox.content.win32k-disable to false
- EnabledByUserPref = 11 - The user manually set security.sandbox.content.win32k-disable to true
- DisabledByControlGroup = 12 - The user is in the Control Group, so it is disabled
- EnabledByTreatmentGroup = 13 - The user is in the Treatment Group, so it is enabled
- DisabledByDefault = 14 - The default value of the pref is false
- EnabledByDefault = 15 - The default value of the pref is true
- DecodersArentRemote = 16 - Some decoder is not remoted to RDD Process (checks PDMFactory::AllDecodersAreRemote)
- IncompatibleMitigationPolicy = 17 - Some incompatible Windows Exploit Mitigation policies are enabled
profile
-------
creationDate
~~~~~~~~~~~~
The assumed creation date of this client's profile.
It's read from a file-stored timestamp from the client's profile directory.
.. note::
If the timestamp file does not exist all files in the profile directory are scanned.
The oldest creation or modification date of the scanned files is then taken to be the profile creation date.
This has been shown to sometimes be inaccurate (`bug 1449739 <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1449739>`_).
resetDate
~~~~~~~~~~~~
The time of the last reset time for the profile. If the profile has never been
reset this field will not be present.
It's read from a file-stored timestamp from the client's profile directory.
firstUseDate
~~~~~~~~~~~~
The time of the first use of profile. If this is an old profile where we can't
determine this this field will not be present.
It's read from a file-stored timestamp from the client's profile directory.
recoveredFromBackup
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The time that this profile was recovered from a backup. If the profile was never
recovered from a backup, this field will not be present.
It's read from a file-stored timestamp from the client's profile directory.
partner
-------
If the user is using a partner repack, this contains information identifying the repack being used, otherwise "partnerNames" will be an empty array and other entries will be null. The information may be missing when the profile just becomes available. In Firefox for desktop, the information along with other customizations defined in distribution.ini are processed later in the startup phase, and will be fully applied when "distribution-customization-complete" notification is sent.
Distributions are most reliably identified by the ``distributionId`` field. Partner information can be found in the `partner repacks <https://github.com/mozilla-partners>`_ (`the old one <https://hg.mozilla.org/build/partner-repacks/>`_ is deprecated): it contains one private repository per partner.
Important values for ``distributionId`` include:
- "MozillaOnline" for the Mozilla China repack.
- "canonical", for the `Ubuntu Firefox repack <http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~mozillateam/firefox/firefox.trusty/view/head:/debian/distribution.ini>`_.
- "yandex", for the Firefox Build by Yandex.

addons

activeAddons
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Starting from Firefox 44, the length of the following string fields: ``name``, ``description`` and ``version`` is limited to 100 characters. The same limitation applies to the same fields in ``theme``.
Some of the fields in the record for each add-on are not available during startup. The fields that will always be present are ``id``, ``version``, ``type``, ``updateDate``, ``scope``, ``isSystem``, ``isWebExtension``, and ``multiprocessCompatible``. All the other fields documented above become present shortly after the ``sessionstore-windows-restored`` observer topic is notified.
activeGMPPlugins
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Up-to-date information is not available immediately during startup. The field will be populated with dummy information until the blocklist is loaded. At the latest, this will happen just after the ``sessionstore-windows-restored`` observer topic is notified.
experiments
-----------
For each experiment we collect the
- ``id`` (Like ``hotfix-reset-xpi-verification-timestamp-1548973``, max length 100 characters)
- ``branch`` (Like ``control``, max length 100 characters)
- ``type`` (Optional. Like ``normandy-exp``, max length 20 characters)
- ``enrollmentId`` (Optional. Like ``5bae2134-e121-46c2-aa00-232f3f5855c5``, max length 40 characters)
In the event any of these fields are truncated, a warning is printed to the console
Note that this list includes other types of deliveries, including Normandy rollouts and Nimbus feature defaults.
