Summary
Refresh the Firefox preferences window to meet the following design objectives:
- Streamline the number of options
- Add UI for Weave Sync
- Refactor our manager and exceptions window UI to allow changing all of the privileges for a particular site
- Expand the "Apps and Services" tab to include all applications and services that Firefox interacts with (phising and malware, search engines, 404 services, handling different data types). Make this UI actually human readable (no mime types!).
Current Status
Just getting started on mockups
Next Steps
- Triage of existing prefs, initial whiteboard work with the rest of the UX team.
- Mockup each tab in the new window
Related Bugs
- Bugs will get filed once the first round of mockups are complete
Team
- Project Lead: faaborg? (maybe limi)
- limi
- boriss
Designs
- Overview (coming soon)
Tabs
- General
- Privacy (will likely stay mostly the same)
- Sync
- Apps and Services
- Web Sites
- Add-ons (will be handled in a separate project)
Goals/Use Cases
- Provide the right amount of control, putting users in charge of their browsing experience, without overwhelming them with micromanaging.
- Provide a range of features and interactions that weren't possible in previous releases of Firefox.
Non Goals
- Placating extremely boundary and minority use cases
- Increasing complexity
- Giving the user options that they have no hope of understanding
- Playing blame the victim
- Using prefs as a means to settle debates over default settings
