Project Updates

Go Faster

  • Support for loading system add-ons shipped with the application should land this week
  • Updating system add-ons mid-cycle to follow


Hello

  • Working on a visual refresh of the entire UI - desktop & standalone.
  • Next up: if you click your own link, we'll open it up in a conversation window as if you'd clicked it from the Hello menu.


Privacy/Security

  • Deploying a heartbeat survey within the next week on 41+ to measure data on private browsing if the user opts-in to via the info bar. The survey will get a baseline in 41 and compare that with 42+ which has tracking protection.
  • A diary study will also soon be taking place to get a different type of feedback on tracking protection
  • Intern presentation: "Firefox Helps You Log In" Presented by Bernardo Rittmeyer https://air.mozilla.org/bernardo_rittmeyer/

Search

  • Working on final fixes to let search suggestions ride the trains, accessibility is being a particular issue
