Search engine telemetry is wrong

[rugk]

I use Firefox Klar (the German version) on an iOS 13.4.1 device. (Klar seems to be v8.1.4)

If you manually enable telemetry, it seems to send some data at start (or shutdown?).

However, there is always an error. So when I change my search engine to DuckDuckGo, or in this test Twitter, let's see what happens…

https://incoming.telemetry.mozilla.org/submit/telemetry/9ED1C790-[…]/core/Klar/8.1.4/[…] gets this data, which is correct:

{
    "arch": "arm64",
    "clientId": "2A[…]",
    "created": "2020-07-27",
    "defaultSearch": "Twitter",
    "device": "iPhone8,1",
    "durations": 12,
    "locale": "de-DE",
    "os": "iOS",
    "osversion": "13.4.1",
    "profileDate": 18470,
    "searches": {},
    "seq": 19,
    "sessions": 1,
    "tz": -420,
    "v": 7
}

However, https://incoming.telemetry.mozilla.org/submit/telemetry/F8AC070[…]/focus-event/Klar/8.1.4/[…] gets this:

{
    "arch": "arm64",
    "clientId": "2A[…]",
    "created": 1595885464421,
    "device": "iPhone8,1",
    "events": [
        [
            1204844,
            "action",
            "background",
            "app",
            null,
            {
                "orientation": "Landscape"
            }
        ],
        [
            1268740,
            "action",
            "foreground",
            "app"
        ],
        [
            1269878,
            "action",
            "click",
            "settings_button"
        ]
    ],
    "locale": "de-DE",
    "os": "iOS",
    "osversion": "13.4.1",
    "processStartTimestamp": 1595884163692,
    "seq": 11,
    "settings": {
        "BiometricLogin": "false",
        "BlockAds": "true",
        "BlockAnalytics": "true",
        "BlockFonts": "false",
        "BlockOther": "true",
        "BlockSocial": "false",
        "enableSearchSuggestions": "true",
        "prefKeyEngine": "Google"
    },
    "tz": -420,
    "v": 1
}

What should happen

Notice it sends Google for prefKeyEngine, while I actually do not use Google. Any other setting (I've tried toggling BlockSocial and BlockOther) seems to be correctly reflected there.

@rugk is this issue still applicable? cc: @Dexterp37

[Dexterp37]

@razvanlitianu this is legacy telemetry, which is not maintained and is going to be deprecated next year.

Okay, closing this for now.
