Firefox/Shield/Shield Studies: Difference between revisions

Shield Studies is a feature that asks a random population of users to help us try out new products, features, and ideas. This feedback helps Mozilla to make more informed product decisions based on actual user needs

Shield Studies are available on channels. Participation in an individual study is opt-in and any and all data being collected will be declared prior to joining the study. After confirming willingness to participation, a self expiring add-on will be installed on the user's machine. At the end of the study period, the add-on will expire and return the user's system to the previous state. When the add-on expires, the user will be asked to fill out a survey based on their experience.

Shield Studies can be targeted at various populations by specifying conditions in a [[Firefox/Recipe_Server|Recipe]]. Additional configurations and conditions can be set through the add-on for the individual study.
