Risk analysis

Summary

Context

Hello share links allows to share a conversation URL through different social network so it's easy to share.

UX: Mokup

Acceptance criteria:

• A new "Share button" is available in the conversation window when waiting alone in a conversation
• Using the share button opens a menu listing all share providers which have already been added and an option to add a new share provider. If no providers have been added yet only the option to add a new provider is shown.
• Clicking the share button again closes the menu
• Selecting the option to add a new provider if the "Firefox share" button is on the toolbar or on the panel menu will open the share panel.
• Selecting the option to add a new provider if the "Firefox share" button is on the customize palette will open a dialogue with the user offering to add "Firefox share" to the toolbar.

- If the user acknowledges the dialog the "Firefox share" button gets added to the toolbar and the "Firefox share" panel opens - If the user dismisses the dialog nothing happens when the dialogue closes

• The panel opens with a pre-populated message used for the selected provider and the message can be shared. The URL of the conversation is the URL getting shared through that mechanism.
• The conversation window remains opened whilst sharing action occurs on the sharing panel
• A Telemetry event sent each time the "Share button" gets used

• TBD: text and image being shared through the different providers

Note: the position of the "Firefox share3 icon in Fx39 has yet to be confirmed
