Gaia/Design/FirstRun

Overview

The Boot to Gecko first run experience will be a critical component to the overall user experience. The first run will introduce the user to the phone's software and user interface as well as set the user up with their Persona account, contacts, email, web apps and much more.

Persona account

• Users will have the option to create a Persona account and attach specific BrowserID supported sites to that ID
• Users who already have a Persona account will be able to log into the device
• New user and/or existing users who have not setup a payment method, will be given this option so they can easily download both free and premium apps from the Mozilla Marketplace

Types of mobile phone users

• Brand new phone user: never owned a mobile phone before
• New smartphone user: previously owned a feature phone
• Existing smartphone user: previously owned a smartphone

User Contacts scenarios

Group A

• Brand new phone user - no previous phone contacts
• Brand new phone user - no phone contacts, but has contacts in a separate online service (email/social network/etc.)

Group B

• New smartphone user - previous feature phone contacts on device
• New smartphone user - previous feature phone contacts on SIM
• New smartphone user - feature phone contacts (SIM/device) and online services with contacts

Group C

• Existing smartphone user - previous smartphone contacts
• Existing smartphone user - previous smartphone contacts + contacts in online services

Group D

• Multi-device user - imports contacts info from device A to device B and wants them to be in 'sync'
