Goals
Create a kid-friendly Firefox configuration that can be turned on and off, to make a Firefox that is easier for kids to use, and to better meet a parent's need to control what their kids can and cannot see and do on the web.
Specifications
- Initial version should be developed and shipped as a Firefox add-on for Android, through AMO.
User stories
- As a parent, I want a version of Firefox that my child can use that can only surf to a set of websites known to be child-friendly, or that I have added to a whitelist, so I don't have to worry about what sites she/he is able to visit when using the device.
- As a parent, I want to turn this "kid-friendly" configuration on and off, so I can use the same installation of Firefox.
- As a parent, I want to set a password or code to turn the kid-friendly configuration off, so my child can't do it themselves (either intentionally or accidentally).
- As a parent, I want WebRTC to be disabled in the "kid-friendly" configuration of Firefox, so I don't have to worry about him/her getting into communications I don't know about & cannot monitor.
- As a parent, I want a kid-friendlier and fully customizable version of the "about:home" screen in the "kid-friendly" configuration of Firefox, so I can pin a specific set of websites to it that will not change.
- As a parent, I want to set big, colourful images/icons for each pinned website on the about:home screen in the "kid-friendly" configuration of Firefox so it's easier for my child to recognize which site she/he wants and easier for them to tap the correct icons.
- As a parent, I want the "kid-friendly" configuration of Firefox to...
- When multi-profile support exists: As a parent, I would like to have the kid-friendly configuration of Firefox always on for my child's Firefox profile.
- As a child, I want a version of Firefox where I can't accidentally browse away from the sites I'm interested and get lost or find inappropriate content on the web.
- As a child, I want a version of Firefox that is easier to use, with simplified controls and big shiny buttons.
