Note that showing a dialog (including a Firefox dialog) will +take Firefox out of focus & end the current session. + +An implementation that records a session when Firefox is completely hidden is +preferrable (e.g. to avoid the dialog issue above), however, it's more complex +to implement and so we chose not to, at least for the initial implementation. + +profileDate +~~~~~~~~~~~ +On Android, this value is created at profile creation time and retrieved or, +for legacy profiles, taken from the package install time (note: this is not the +same exact metric as profile creation time but we compromised in favor of ease +of implementation). + +Additionally on Android, this field may be ``null`` in the unlikely event that +all of the following events occur: + +#.
