Product & Feature Requirements

Additional Locale Support: Hungarian & Slovak

• Locale breadth: ensure we can support any potential distribution deals without locales being any kind of hurdle or barrier
• Notes from what the competition supports:
  • Opera Mobile supports 40 languages
  • Chrome Mobile supports 31 (as of Apr 2012) and seemingly 38 (trying to find an official source of truth)
  • Google Play store supports 45 localizations

Specifications

• Supports a total of 21 locales [en-US, cs, da, de, es-ES, fi, fr, ja, ko, it, nb-NO, nl, pl, pt-BR, pt-PT, ru, zh-CN, zh-TW, tr, hu, sk]
• Multi-locale build to include Hungarian and Slovakian for a total of 21 locales

User Stories

• As a user, I want to use Firefox in my own language [Slovakian, Hungarian]

Quality Criteria

1. User stories must be satisfied
2. Specifications must be met
3. Multi-locale APK size must not exceed the Fx21 APK by x% (important for ARMv6 users with less memory than high-end devices)

Reflow on Zoom

• When zooming in on text content, the text readjusts (reflows) to fit the screen so a user does not need to pan the screen to read the larger text

Specifications

• Reflow on Zoom initiated only when a user double taps (and not when a user pinches)
• Reflow to feel smooth and not abrupt
• Reflow should centre around the 'double tap' in order to zoom in on the intended content
• Zooming in on images should not trigger a reflow

User Stories

• As a user, when I double-tap on text on a part of a page, the page zooms in at a comfortable level and the text and images reflows naturally around this zoomed-in area without the need to scroll horizontally, so I can easily and fluidly read and hone in on areas of the page that I am reading.

Quality Criteria

1. All user stories are satisfied
2. All specifications are met

Dynamic navigation/search bar

• Declutters the viewing screen when browsing by free-ing up screen real estate
• Of special import for smaller, lower-to-mid tier smartphones where screens are physically smaller, therefore freeing up viewing real estate is even more important to the user

Specifications

• Show the URL bar when a user actively seeks to interact with it
• When a user is simply reading a page, make the URL bar hide
• Make the bar visible when a user 'pulls down' the screen

UX Design

• Associated bug for tracking
  • NB: One difference in implementation from the animation and current implementation is that the bar is pulled down wherever in the screen the user 'pulls down'

User Stories

• As a user, I want the navigation bar to hide so that my entire screen is used for browsing.
• As a user, I want to be able to pull down the navigation bar, so that I can have access to this bar whenever I want it easily and seamlessly.

Quality Criteria

1. User stories are satisfied
2. Specifications are met
