Feature Reference

• Meta Bug: bug 1196227
• Overal Status:
  • Aurora:
  • Beta:
• Owner:(Catalin Suciu, irc: csuciu)

Requirements

• Private Browsing will be supported for iOS9 devices and above.
• Provide message for users running on iOS8 and below that they need to upgrade to iOS9 in order to use Private browsing
• Enable users to initiate Private Browsing tabs
• Ensure the following data is not saved:
  • Visited pages (URLs)
  • Form data (including usernames and passwords)
  • Search entries
  • Cookies
  • Temporary Internet files (cached files)
• Ensure it is intuitive and simple to initiate a private browsing tab (session)
• Allow both private and non-private tabs to exist in the same browser session (per-tab Private Browsing and not per-window Private Browsing)

User Stories

• As a user, I want to be informed that in order to get Private Browsing, I need to upgrade to iOS9
• As a user, I want to initiate a Private Browsing tab on the household iPad so I can search for that perfect diamond ring without my partner clueing in on what I'm up to.
• As a user, I don't want to have to open up a new browser session just to use Private Browsing if I've already got a non-private browsing session going.
• As a user, I don't want my Top Sites, search history or form data saved when Private Browsing so I don't populate my Firefox data with stuff I don't want in there.
• As a user, I want to have a setting that allows the private tabs to be cleared when going back to normal tabs.

Acceptance Criteria

• Per-tab private browsing
• Easy to initiate a private browsing tab and navigate between both non-private and private tabs in an intuitive way
• No saved browsing history from Private Browsing tabs
