Late-Night Firefox conversions

do they count for today, or yesterday?

I'm curious if anyone knows how this works:

suppose someone downloads firefox from my referal late in the evening (like 11:45pm), showing 1 FF click - but they dont install and run it (this is when the conversion is counted) until the next day.

Will this conversion show in today's stats, or will it back-date into yesterday's total?

It seems to change somewhere between midnight and 1PM California time.

ok.. so if somone downloads before that time (shows as a click for that day) but installs it after that time (the next day, or days later) - do i see the conversion in today's stats, or yesterday?

From the AdSense help center:

a conversion occurs when a user downloads Firefox through your referral button and runs it for the first time

In other words, the download is irrelevant. Even installing Firefox is irrelevant. It's not considered to be a conversion until the user tries it out.
