Summary
Context
- Queue links in Firefox instead of switching applications each time
- Give users the ability to load links, without having to switch apps every time. The idea is to defer that choice to the user.
- The idea was that Firefox would load all the links in this “list” next time the user opened the app
- There might be an unpredictable amount of delay between opening and consuming. So, the notifications was introduced — a more subtle way to remind users “those links are waiting for you”.
Implementation
Feature enabled in Settings
- Enable it from settings
- After a user presses a link, a feedback notification is displayed
- There are two options:
1. If there is an amount of delay until switching to that link, a notification is displayed in the android notification bar with the link queued to open it later
Tapping the android notification
If there is only one link, tapping the notification will load the tab
If there is more than one link in queue, tapping the notification will display the tab tray.
Tapping the launcher Nightly icon when you have the notification in android notification bar
If there is only one link, tapping the notification will load the tab
If there is more than one link in queue, tapping the notification will display the tab tray.
2. The user can open the link in Firefox by tapping the notification button "switch
Feature disabled in Settings
A prompt informing users about Tab Queue, appears when you have three external links opened with Nightly and you try to open the fourth. There are 3 options when the prompt appears:
"Enable" it by tapping the "Enable button": this will display a green check symbol and the preference is enabled in settings "Not now": will not set the preference to true and the prompt won't show again "Ignore "it by tapping the back button or outside the prompt. The prompt will hide and will appear after another 3 external links are opened again in Nightly. If you ignore it once again, it will show another time, after another 3 links are opened. If you also ignore it now, it will not show again.(It appears only three times)
