We do not collect data from our release users, but we do collect some 
information about activation from prerelease users in the following 
telemetry histograms:

PLUGINS_NOTIFICATION_SHOWN 
PLUGINS_NOTIFICATION_PLUGIN_COUNTPLUGINS_NOTIFICATION_USER_ACTION 
PLUGINS_INFOBAR_SHOWN PLUGINS_INFOBAR_BLOCK PLUGINS_INFOBAR_ALLOW

See 
http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/toolkit/components/telemetry/Histograms.json 
for a more complete description of these histograms. You can look at the 
aggregate numbers by date on the telemetry dashboard at 
https://telemetry.mozilla.org/

I don't expect that this data will be helpful in making decisions about 
Flash default status. There are still clear blockers such as advertising 
to deal with, but the time is coming where we can consider it.
