Background

Firefox 2.0 will include code to optionally record “browser metrics,” or usage statistics, and send the information back to Mozilla for analysis. The goal is that this information will aid developers in choosing features, designing UI behavior, identifying web sites that can cause problems, and other important points of the user experience.

This preference works around a bug with the timer used to schedule metrics data uploads.
