| = Welcome to Idea Town =
| | As of January 2016 the Idea Town project has been [http://micropipes.com/blog/2016/01/27/meet-the-new-test-pilot/ renamed to Test Pilot]. |
|
| |
|
| Idea Town is an opt-in platform that allows us to perform controlled tests of new high-visibility product concepts in the general release channel of Firefox.
| | '''[[Test_Pilot|Learn more about the new Test Pilot!]]''' |
| | |
| Idea Town is not intended to replace trains for most features, nor is it a test bed for concepts we do not believe have a strong chance of shipping in general release. Rather, it is reserved for features that require user-feedback, testing, and tuning before they ship with the browser.
