Content review (short term)

Quick review: Any red flags?

• Fx 21
  • Distribution files
  • HTML5 compat roll-up
  • New web content font
  • Amazon search URL updated

• Fx 22
  • Added locales: Slovak
  • Reflow on zoom on double tap
    • Not ready for 22, release vehicle TBD (need quality and usability comments)
    • Will move it off the roadmap, but will monitor it regularly to determine the correct release vehicle
    • add to the 'waiting room'
  • New tab UI
    • Would like to see the title changes (private, normal, sync) instead of icons: EL to ping l10n to ensure this isn't a problem
  • ANR reporter
  • Performance improvements: async canvas updates & buffers (webGL, texture streaming, async canvas updates). can show orc chop running 60fps (went from 8 to 45-60fps). Nexus 4 is an appropriate one.

• Fx 23
  • Dynamic URL bar
  • Added locales: Turkish, Hungarian
  • NFC bump
  • WebRTC platform - preffed on/off?
    • Request for both audio and video hung on the same door hanger
    • UI for ensuring a visual indicator in the tab / tab tray to say that audio and/or video is live - will make one
    • QA due diligence: device specs, blocklisting needs -> no different than last week
  • FHR
    • Need to visualize the data collected by users, and currently no visualization is search engines so this is high prio from UX
  • Changeable (UI) search engine default
  • Add search engines - dependency on search suggestions UX
    • -> suggest moving this to 24
  • RSS/Atom feed
  • STB optimization -> new target 24
    • not finished yet, may be shippable in 24 (uplift any fixes to 23 to get sooner: no user interface changes, just interactions: users can navigate through the page)
  • Directional game console nav -> new target 24
    • (uplift any fixes to 23 to get sooner: no user interface changes, just interactions: users can navigate through the page)
    • will need a help page to show mapping of button-to-controller (SUMO?) or an about:controller (ship an add-on with that distribution for info about the controller) (back, forward, refresh,...)
  • Dynamic snippets -> target 24 due to resource dependencies
  • State of good repair
    • Lots of great additions from the UI hackathon: http://ianbarlow.wordpress.com/2013/05/03/polish-all-the-things1/

  • Can we live with it in fig?
  • Chenxia to help with this project
  • add to the 'waiting room'
• STB designs
• about:home redesign - do we have a concrete plan on how to tackle the engineering work?
  • Schedule in periodic Feature / Design reviews?
  • should see something in fig this week (first up: basics of about:home 'home pager')
  • would like to try some usability testing (current users and new users) to validate our design approaches (Ian talking with UR to get this organized)
  • look at the meta bug and schedule a milestone review to determine when to show people things
• 'quick share' design concept - feedback
  • https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=869123
  • Sriram built a quick prototype (based on most common sharing option, no advanced editing)
  • let's try getting this into nightly when it makes
  • add to the 'waiting room'
  • usability based on Android versions need to be documented (functionality can be added to newer versions and not older ones)
• reader improvements - granular list / target readiness

• search UX impact of adding more engines
• Apps on Android: UX & Product MVP requirements before hitting beta, release (to safeguard the initial 'first impression' experience of running Apps on Android) - bug synthesizing APK stuff and to add to a release? - all bugs ride releases
