Details

(Whiteboard: [fidefe-firefox-view])

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:106.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/106.0

Steps to reproduce:

Since Firefox View is new hub for Sync, it might be interesting to show a link to about:logins too. This will make it easier for users to manage their synchronized passwords.

Component: Untriaged → Firefox View
Hardware: Unspecified → Desktop
Priority: -- → P3

This is an element on the list of considerations for future iteration.

Our existing problem statement revolves around helping users access content they've previously found before in Firefox. While that could be changed, this functionality would fall outside the scope of the user need we are trying to solve for on this page as its currently defined.

Our existing problem statement revolves around helping users access content they've previously found before in Firefox. While that could be changed, this functionality would fall outside the scope of the user need we are trying to solve for on this page as its currently defined.

Josh, Firefox View devotes a big section to "colorways," which have nothing to do with previously visited content. You'd have to first remove this section before telling users that Firefox View follows a very strict scope.

Yes, I agree that colorways doesnt fall under the scope of the problem we are trying to solve on Fx View.

Currently it is taking up quite a prominent space. It will be a negotiation, but my hope is that as we add more content related to our problem statement we can find a more balanced way of serving up a colorways entrypoint.

Additionally, please dont misinterpret my comment as a "no" or as a judgement of the concept of making the password manager more accessible or visible to the user. I only think it's important that when we opt to include features and functionality (like colorways) that dont directly relate to the research validated user need we are trying to solve we understand that we are diverging from validated concepts.
