Topic: Firefox Desktop User Types in North America

Presenter: Bill Selman

Have you ever wondered who is using Firefox on the desktop and how they are using it? Do you want to know which facets of our user base are enthusiastic about new features vs. users who are reluctant to see any changes at all? Are you interested to learn which category of Firefox user type you fit into and how representative you are of a larger Firefox population?

The User Experience Research team has collected a great deal of data to answer these questions and is eager to share it with you. Bill Selman, Senior UX Researcher, will present findings from a three part qualitative and quantitative study of Firefox users in North America. He will present how those users fit into six specific categories of user types based on their behaviors, motivations, beliefs, and attitudes.

  • Indexing and search
    • Much faster (indexed vs. not) performance on many types of queries
    • Add ability to find callers of constructors
    • Differentiate between a const and a non-const function of the same name.
    • Add finding of callers and callees.
    • Add recognition of typedefs.
    • Link macro references.
    • Link class declarations to class definitions.
    • Sort folder listings.
    • Improve regex that delimits JS symbols.
    • Better usability on mobile and WebKit
  • Infrastructure
    • Several thousand fewer lines of code
    • Slim down builds to emit only data, not Python code, making development much faster.
    • Replace ad hoc implementation of process pooling with concurrent.futures.
    • Reworked old-school CGI as a Flask WSGI app.
    • Redesign URLs for MXR parity and future extensibility
    • Tests! CI! Vagrant!
  • Bug fixes
    • Ability to actually enter a query without the JS screwing it up
    • No more crashing when doing negated phrase matching
    • Fix URL- and HTML-escaping bloopers, including XSSes.
    • Don't duplicate lines in results under some types of queries
    • Many others


Coming soon: continuously deployment, log/blame integration, full parity with MXR
