QA/Fennec/Menu Settings Reorganization

Feature Reference

• Overal Status:
  • Nightly: NA
  • Aurora: NA
  • Beta: NA
  • Owner:(Teodora Vermesan, irc: TeoVermesan)

Requirements

   A. Reorganize / rework the Settings menu to take into account:

   - latest features / functionality (ensure groupings make sense)
   - scalable to include new partnerships that can 'plug in'
   - enable/ disable new features (like kinderfox, magnification) in an intuitive manner
   - takes into account the re-thinking around privacy settings and how they're presented to the user

  B. Based on Gemma's competitive report, we should do the following improvements and quick wins

   -Add Sub-Headings: Unlike Firefox, the three other browsers user sub-headings as way to organize content.
   -Add "Accessibility" to Fennec (but not iOS)
   -Dolphin and Opera offer top-level options to clear private data. Chrome does not offer this option at the top-level. It may help differentiate Firefox as “more private” if we do.
   -The ability to “Clear private data” at the top-level of the settings menu on Firefox for iOS seems more consistent with our brand.
   -Change Sync to Sign-in (to be consistent with iOS and other browsers)
   -Like Chrome and Dolphin, Firefox for iOS offers “Search” choice as a top-level option.
