Program Management/Programs/Telemetry/Improve Opt-in

Goal

The current Telemetry opt-in rates do not provide enough data to be useful. In general, Telemetry is only useful if users are providing feedback.

Release channel

Current: ~2%
Goal: 10%+

Nightly (dev) channel

Current: Goal: 50%+

Tactics

The following are some tactics that may be used to increase the opt-in rate for Telemetry.

Change to opt-out policy

metrics pursuing opt-out policy - follow up with them to see how they're progressing Daniel for follow-up next week will require security review

Change opt-in ui

the opt-in may be hidden in another tab or disappear quickly, not designed to be used heavily discuss ux goal

Replace opt-in UI https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=692861

Current UI gets dismissed too easily https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=691951

More aggressive opt-in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=683340

follow up with ux frontend metrics

dev (nightly) channel want to get 50% plus with more aggressive opt-in (which is incomplete need ux to design) chrome puts checkbox on the download page, Rob pushing back as firefox is multiseat and chrome is single user, doesn't address current users

Increase publicity
