=Goals= | ==Goals== | ||
===1. Offer a seamless experience across devices and users=== | |||
* '''Be user-centric, not device-centric.'''When a Firefox user begins a browsing session, they should always feel they are continuing a web experience with a browser built for them, not having to re-introduce themselves | |||
* '''Feel ''Firefoxy'' on any platform.''' While Firefox is designed differently for different form factors, NT2 will look, feel, and act in accordance with our brand tone and style | |||
===2. Make users more powerful=== | |||
* '''Utilizes usage data Firefox already has.''' Creates value from what Firefox knows about the people who use it, building a richer experience over time without compromising privacy or security | |||
* '''Make users efficient.''' Has a high likelihood of predicting what the user’s next action is and saving them time in the process. Allows users to easily navigate different locations and contexts | |||
* '''Recognize context.''' Understands that how users browse changes based on their situation, state, and tasks. Does require users to compromise privacy among people in their life. | |||
* '''Be the user’s agent and advocate.''' Welcomes users to their browsing session while being helpful, not overpowering. | |||
* Non-goal: Engage users at all costs. A successful design will passively present our best guess as to what users will find useful, but not any content that the user might find interesting. Distraction from the user’s intended task is not acceptable. | |||
===3. Successfully Integrate New Tab and Home Tab into one Page=== | |||
Successfully Integrates New Tab and Home Tab into one Page | |||
* '''Use what we’ve learned''' through research and testing about what users do and want at the beginning of their session and when opening a new tab and delivers a solution to address real user needs | |||
* '''Don't leave current users in the lurch.''' While the features NT2 presents will change and some will move, users will not be left unable to find functionality they need | |||
* Non-goal: Combine all the features of Home Tab and New Tab into one page. Currently, these two pages offer users different options, but a successful design for v2 will curate content strategically in the way that produces the best user experience. Any item present on the page must have a rationale to be displayed other than historical design. | |||
