Open issues/risks
Q & A on shifting content (from firefox-dev)
Stage 1: Definition
1. Feature overview
Firefox's find-in-page bar has several usability problems that need to be addressed in a redesign:
| Problem with Find-in-page | Solution |
| Located at the bottom of the Firefox window, away from all other main functionality. Yet, it's both main functionality and relates to the content on the page. | Should move to the top of the Firefox window, allowing users to easily scan down the page to see results (as they read) rather than having to scan backwards |
| Displays globally, on all new tabs, which means that unwanted past searches constantly stick around | Should become tab-specific |
| "/" shortcut is too easy to trigger in error in an app where slashes are important | "/" shortcut should be removed |
| Only shows one result at a time | Find-in-page should highlight *all* matching results |
| Currently difficult to see where find-in-page has located a result | A subtle animation/color change should indicate where results are found |
| Doesn't say how many results were found | Should say how many results were found |
| Not dismissable with Esc or clicking outside to close | Should be dismissable with Esc or clicking outside to close |
| Doesn't have match whole word option | Should have match whole word option |
This feature falls primarily in the Experience category (from the "Discover, Experience, and Connect" vision statement.)
