Labs/Test Pilot/Test Proposals/Restore Closed Tabs

Restoring of closed Tabs study

  • Status: Draft
  • Duration: 1 Week


Introduction

During my use of Firefox I have often noticed that I needed to restore a closed tab. Sometimes this is not the last Tab I closed, so I have to restore several tabs in the hope to find the one I actually need.

It would be interesting to find out if other users have the same problem and if therefor it would be useful to change the "restore tab" function such, that you would get a list of available tabs to be restored.


Goals

  • Find out if people use the "restore closed tab" function on a regular basis.
  • Find out if people restore several tabs shortly after another.
  • Find out if people close restored tabs shortly after restoring them (suggesting that they were only restored to get to the one tab they want)


Analysis

  • T2 (restored tab) - T1 (restored tab) < 2 sec
  • Number of restored tabs before a timeout (about 10 sec)
  • Reclosing of restored tabs: T2 (Tab closed) - T1 (Close restored Tab)
