Disc Pain: 2
The improvement of add-on discovery pane in Firefox. Also known as the Disco Pain.
Disco Pain, Stu style.
UX

maritz, pwalm
Timeline
Aiming for Firefox 48 for the new pages and replacement of about:addons.
Metrics
How do we measure how well this is working?
Implementation
The pages will be generated by AMO and loaded in an iframe into Firefox. This is how the current addons discovery page works (the disco pane). So this will implementation will cover (at a high level):
- creating a new addons page
- figuring out how to put add-ons in that page (and the matrix of products, locales, regions)
- creating new APIs in Firefox for installing and finding out if an add-on installed
- changing Firefox to use the new pages (or maybe just change them in place)
For example of what you currently see in about:addons here's some example urls:
- https://services.addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/discovery/pane/pane/promos/strict
- https://services.addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/discovery/pane/account
- https://services.addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/discovery/addon/floral-abstract-by-madonna/?src=discovery-featured
etc.
Note: aiming for Android and Desktop.
Firefox
Tracking bug for platform: 1245993
We'll need to land the Firefox changes for Firefox 48 going into Aurora (2016-04-18).
AMO
Tracking label: https://waffle.io/mozilla/addons?label=disco%20pane and | tracking bug
We'll need to test the Firefox changes for Firefox 48 before they land. The AMO pages can land as ready, but should be all completed by the time Firefox 48 goes into Beta (2016-06-06).
In this will include the redesign started at Mozlando, so that moving between the disco pane and AMO is not too jarring. Bugs for that are tracked here, but might move.
Out of scope

- Changes to the first run experience
