Mobile/Fennec/Research

Here is a list of research questions we are interested in for mobile. This list is in no particular order, but we should probably organize and soon:

  * How are users getting into fennec? Through the android homescreen icon? By following a link in another application such as mail?
  * Is fennec the default browser for this user?
  * how are users accessing tasks such as new page, bookmark, back/forward, etc.? Through gestures, android menu, on-screen touch targets, or physical buttons?
  * What is the breakdown of devices using fennec?
  * How long is a user in fennec? What about users who explicitly open the application versus users who come through link?
  * How often do users encounter an interstitial page asking them to download in a about occasion? How often do they skip past this? How often do they download the application?
  * If a user is accessing a web app that also has an android app, do they ever use both?
  * Given that we can identify a user through sink or other methods, can we tell of users are on desktop Firefox and fennec at the same time? This is important because it tells us whether we should think about turning fennec into a "companion app” when the two devices are close to one another.
  * Again, given that we can identify a user through sink: what are the different combinations of PC/Mac computers and android/nokia/iPhone users?
