Summary

Control Center is a home for the most important site-level tools and information that users need to feel safe and in-charge of their online experience. The Control Center unifies existing controls that are scattered in many places alongside new contextual features. Fx42 launches the Control Center MVP that includes:

• a revamped site security and site identity panel
• site-level controls for Tracking Protection

Context

Mock-ups have been created for:

• Page Identity:
  • Secure Content

• • Active Mixed Content blocked

• • Active Mixed Content disabled

• • Active Mixed Content blocked with passive loaded

• • Unsecure connection

• Tracking Protection
  • Enabled and trackers present

• • Enabled no trackers present

• • Disabled

It should be noted that the mock-ups should be used as a general guideline, as some of them suffered minor design modifications that are not reflected in the above pictures.

• Landed implementation in FF 42: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?f1=target_milestone&f2=status_whiteboard&o1=substring&o2=substring&v1=Firefox%2042&v2=%5Bfxprivacy%5D&list_id=12411033

• Remaining work until: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?bug_status=UNCONFIRMED&bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED&f1=status_whiteboard&f2=flagtypes.name&f3=status_whiteboard&f4=cf_rank&o1=substring&o2=substring&o3=notsubstring&o4=isnotempty&priority=P1&v1=%5Bfxprivacy%5D&v2=firefox-backlog%2B&v3=%5Buserstory%5D&list_id=12411032

Enabling the feature

To enable tracking protection from about:config set browser.polaris.enabled to true and restart the browser. The remaining elements of the feature are enabled by default.

Test cases

• Smoke testing (basic functionality testing)
• End-to-end testing( basic functionality and a focus on the interaction between identity page, permissions and tracking protection )
• UI oriented testing using various OS themes and Firefox themes
• Accessibility testing
• Interaction with ad-block and ghostery add-ons
• E10S on/off
