Hey, Screenshots person here...this is a new one to me. My only thoughts would be the pref flip that seems to be ruled out at this point, or that you're trying to shoot an about:[SOMETHING] page for which we disable screenshots. Otherw

hit the hamburger menu, then Customize. In the lower right, there should be a toggle for it. edit: not sure if that's linux friendly

We're seeing the Edge error too, though it wasn't there in earlier QA, so it's a bit mysterious. Hopeful that we'll have some remediation soon. Source: I work on Test Pilot

We're moving to a webExtensiony future. The idea here is that we'll be a first party consumer of the webExtension APIs so we can help test/drive/expand capabilities.

Hey, we're a little behind on writing up the last few experiments unfortunately. We'll be adding full reports over the next few weeks.

So, I'm a PM at Mozilla who did an MDes in Interaction Design at CMU. I'm a dataset of one, but my experience there was absolutely worth the cost. A few notes: - 65k is a lot, but Pittsburgh is cheap compared to the Northern Calif

Containers are per-tab and isolate only tracking-related data (not bookmarks or history, for now). Also containers don't require that you open multiple instances of Firefox.

1. Hello potch! 2. Yes, this is among the most requested features we've seen so far. Containers in Test Pilot will remain in active development for the foreseeable future, so I wouldn't be surprised to see such a feature forthcomi

Agreed. Right now we're pretty hands off about modifying default behaviors, link handling etc. Chalk this up to us wanting to be unopinionated about specific use cases, but there are definitely some optimizations to be made to shore up

Yes this, we did some brainstorming and solicited user feedback about names and decided Containers makes sense for a general audience. Docker Containers and 'Contextual Idendities' are kind of inside baseball.

Simply, our user testing (with Windows users in particular) suggests it's a feature people find useful. We're using Test Pilot to learn a bit more, that's all. I only mentioned screen sharing because of the comment about Chro

So the other thing with the Tracking Protection experiment is that we're soliciting feedback about how this feature breaks the web. We use a block list from Disconnect for Tracking Protection in Private Browsing and for Focus on iOS, b

Hello had browser sharing built in for awhile, but nobody used it, so we took out the feature in 49. Test Pilot is, at least in part, a program intended to let us develop ideas in the open without the cost and complexity of shipping to mill

Test Pilot and all these experiments are OPT IN. You have to seek them out and install them separately from Firefox.

by jgruen 10y ago
Actually, we've made email collection/messages entirely opt in (as the result of user feedback) :) Edit: but we should update the privacy notice!

Page Shot, like all features in Test Pilot is opt in. We have no plans to force anything on anyone. A big part of why we built test pilot in the first place was to give us a platform to test UX without going all 'Leeroy Jenkins' o

This is an opt-in experiment in an opt in program.

The Test Pilot program is pretty small compared to the total traffic to the Wayback Machine. The Internet Archive guys were not worried about this, so I'm not either.

The No More 404s experiment, like all of Test Pilot, is totally opt-in. The whole idea is to let us try things with Firefox, get feedback and iterate quickly. No More 404s Telemetry ping is only gathering data about how often the Add-on is

We were going for an 'edge of the atmosphere' feel. Also, that hood scoop is pretty rad.

While this isn't integrated into the Test Pilot site UX for the time being, we have Discourse forums set up for all of the experiments in Test Pilot.* If you'd like to register questions or feedback ton Discourse, team members an

We don't know exactly what's going to happen with Tab Center--or any of these experiments--in the long run. Our goal here is to get feedback from our users to drive successive UX and engineering iterations. Once experiments have i
