Websites/Snippets

This page contains all of the important details for the Snippets service.

Elevator Pitch

The about:home snippet service is a simple, highly-cached content management service. It is intended to assemble and deliver content snippets to the about:home page in Firefox.

The content delivered is determined by details about the installation of Firefox requesting content - including mainly details about the browser's build, locale, platform, and distribution channel, but not the person using the browser.
