Tracking

• Meta-bug to be filed

Overview

The idea is to provide a stand-alone app that can be downloaded via the Google Play store. However for increased utility, it should also serve as a complementary application to Firefox for Android.

Target Audience

Android phone users with a WebRTC supported browser (preferably Firefox). First intention is to support the seamless receipt of baseline Hello interactions. Second intention is to build in user value to having the client sit alongside Firefox for Android.

Justification

Feeds into the Firefox mobile MAU, desktop and Firefox Accounts KPIs

Product Requirements v1

The following use cases and requirements are targeting a first release of the application.

Receiving a Call

Firefox desktop to Android phone with Firefox for Android already installed

As a user, I am sending a Hello call-me link from my desktop to a recipient who may receive it on their Android smartphone (in advance of checking on their desktop). My recipient opens up the message (via SMS or email) on their Android smartphone and taps on the link, which opens up in a WebRTC-enabled browser, preferably Firefox. If no browser exists or if Firefox is not installed, prompt the user to download Firefox for Android.

• Upon opening a text or email with a link on an Android smartphone,
  • If Firefox is installed on the phone, launch Firefox
  • If another WebRTC-enabled browser is installed on the phone, launch that browser and show a message on the display page promoting the use of Firefox (with a link to the GPlay store landing page for download). User can still continue using the currently-launched browser if they so wish.
  • If no WebRTC-enabled browser is installed on the phone, launch the default browser and show a page with a message promoting Firefox with a link to the GPlay store landing page for download.
