It's worth noting that we don't collect information on very many CSS
properties (just enough to be able to write useful tests, at the moment...).

They are regular histograms, so you ought to be able to access them through
the Telemetry dashboards at http://telemetry.mozilla.org/ .

That being said, they are not available there yet, possibly due to the
slightly unorthodox way we generate the histograms.  So you may have to
wait a little while we we get that sorted out.

I have plans to write a custom dashboard for the use counter histograms, so
that you can see them in the more understandable form "X% of documents use
$FEATURE"...but one thing at a time. :)
