Overview

This document outlines the proposed content for Firefox 3 in-product web pages. "In-product web pages" means web pages that are integrated into Firefox, whether as confirmation pages that are presented upon updates to the browser, or as pages that are bookmarked by default.

The design goal for these pages is to make them both highly usable and easily localized. To achieve the latter, we will use HTML text whenever possible and remove all (or almost all) screenshots.

Note that this current list is rough and is still in the process of being fleshed out.

Current Page List

Work on these pages is within the scope of our site redesign contract with the Royal Order.

First Run page

This page is displayed on the first launch of Firefox (including upgrades from Firefox 2 to Firefox 3). In its current en-US form it contains brief tips on how to start using some of the most basic features, including tabs, search, security info and add-ons. However, click-through on these tips is very low, indicating that people probably aren't interested in tips at this point in the Firefox experience.

So, we propose simplifying this page with a basic "Welcome to Firefox 3" message plus links off to content on how to get the most out of the web using Firefox.

Specifically, the page content will include: - Welcome headline - primary message on the page will be a brief welcome covering key messaging points and directing people to close the window to start browsing - secondary message will direct people to the Getting Started page (details below) that will contain info on how to get the most out of the web using Firefox. - other links will take users to the release notes and to SUMO

You've Updated page

The Updated page is displayed after a user has successfully updated Firefox to the latest version.

The new version of the page contain similar content to the current one: - "You've Been Updated" headline - link to change log (replacing link to release notes) - a message about our security process (similar to the one in 2.0.0.11) - instructions on how to close the window and continue browsing

Getting Started page

We propose taking a different approach than the current Getting Start page .

Instead, we'd like to use this page as a task-based jumping off point for people to explore the Web and discover sites that will help them get the most out of Firefox (and the Internet in general). This page will be aimed towards beginning and intermediate Web users.

Our thought is that we will offer several categories based on common things people do on the Web, with a few example sites for each. The specific sites are still TBD, but our current list includes: - Learn: Answers.com, Wikipedia, HowStuffWorks.com, a news site, a relevant add-on - Explore: StumbleUpon, Google Zeitgeist, Digg, Gizmodo, the 'customize your search bar' feature - Connect: Facebook, WordPress, LinkedIn, Del.icio.us, Meebo, web app integration - Work: sample Google apps, Open Office, RememberTheMilk.com - Play: FoxyTunes, Flash game sites - Watch: YouTube, Miro, VideoBomb, Flickr (note: these last two categories might be combined)

Phishing Protection Test page

This is a test page for the anti-phishing feature in Firefox 3. No changes are planned other than an update to the look & feel to match the rest of the site redesign. Page is live now at: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/its-a-trap.html

Phishing Protection Description page

This pages is an overview of the Phishing Protection feature in Firefox 3. No changes are planned other than an update to the look & feel to match the rest of the site redesign.

Page is live now at: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/phishing-protection/


Status TBD

Firefox 2 contains five informational in-product pages that live in the Bookmarks tab. Our recommendation is to remove these pages from Firefox 3.
