Preconditions

Steps to reproduce

Expected result

  • The ad clicks are correctly recorded and displayed in the telemtry page.

Actual result

  • No ad click telemetry pings are recorded.

:dharvey, this seems like it might be high severity? If so, could you prioritize and/or assign?

Note: I think the regressing point here may have been different from bug 1699467, but the same thing fixes it.
