This patch gets the basics in place for an about:feedback page. I even made a button that takes you to our app in the play store!
Issues to address:
-Factor out the app id so that this will work on beta as well
-Figure out what the content of this page should actually look like ;)
-Figure out when/how we'll open this page for users (launch from app icon after 10 uses, or something like that? add image/link to about:home? create menuitem?)

I think we have support for "market:" URLs in the platform. We will try to open the URL in a helper app. Can we try to just use code lie this from the aboutFeedback JS itself?

Overall looks good. Can you throw up a screen shot to give UX something to start with?

I tried just using a link, but a dialog came up to confirm whether or not the user actually wanted to go ahead and go to another app (it didn't even mention the play store in that dialog), and I didn't want to give the user the opportunity to bail. I think that's fair if we make it obvious where the button is going to go ;)

This patch opens about:feedback in a new tab when opening from the app icon after a certain number of history visits. Because I put this logic in onNewIntent, but not in onCreate, we'll only run into this if fennec was already running in the background when you tapped the shortcut icon. I think this is a nice feature of this patch because that means the feedback page will open really fast, which a good experience to have right before writing a review.
I tested this manually (with a lower history count), but I'd like to try to write a test for this.

I already spotted a problem here. This query does way more than we need here, but right now it's the only way to do this without modifying LocalBrowserDB. We could a new method to LocalBrowserDB that lets us see if we have at least a certain number of history visits. On the bright side, this will only ever get called multiple times if the user has a very small history DB!

Agreed. Let's not pre-optimize until we know we need too.

I moved this to BrowserApp, since this doesn't need to be a generic GeckoApp thing.
Also, using loadUrlInTab makes the back button close the about:feedback tab, instead of taking you out of the app.

It looks like we currently just use that for when we want to vary the integer for different layouts. I don't really see a problem declaring it as a private field if it's only ever used inside that class.

This patch starts to implement the mockups that Ian gave me. Ian, an APK is available here, and I'd appreciate feedback:
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/3358452/about-feedback.apk
The main challenge I'm facing here is that input.mozilla.org doesn't seem to like the format of my POST request (I'm getting HTTP 500 responses). I've been using a different HTML page to test on desktop so I can peek inside the network requests, but I haven't been able to come up with anything. My suspicion is that we need to actually submit a form, not make an XMLHttpRequest with a FormData object, but I haven't tested that out yet.

Margaret this is looking pretty fantastic. I have a couple bits of feedback for the moment, based on looking at my Galaxy Nexus. I'm going to try this on a couple of different phone / tablet sizes when I get into the office tomorrow, I'll post some more thoughts then.
- Let's make the whole button areas tappable, not just the blue links
- Please change the header font (Help us spread Firefox) to Open Sans Light
- Adjust the text alignment on the Give Feedback page: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/2182500/margins.png
- Margins on the input pages need should be a little bigger -- they should match that of the Give Feedback / Help us spread Firefox pages.

How is the script/glyph coverage of Open Sans Light?
See http://www.mozilla.org/vi/firefox/channel/ for an example how things can look if single glyphs are not supported. Vietnamese is a language that we may actually need in the future, too.

We're getting closer. This actually submits data to input.mozilla.org, and I'm getting close to matching the styling in the mockups. Ian, I updated the APK in my dropbox space if you want to check it out.
The only main thing left to do is to handle the case where the user taps "Maybe later", so we'll have to store a pref about showing the page again after some interval.
Here are some other concerns I had:
-We were planning on putting this page in a new tab, so I think we should have links to close the page, rather than go to about:home, on the "Thank you!" page.
-The checkbox next to "Include your last visited site?" seems pretty useless. Is there a way to just indicate that the URL field is optional? I'm only sending a URL if something is in that field anyway.
-I added a "This field is required" error message under the description textarea if the user tries to submit an empty form. Ian, do you want to give feedback about how that should be styled?

If you open the tab with "about:home" as the parent tab, closing the tab will go back to about::home

Maybe just add placeholder text in the URL textbox? Something like "(optional)" and change the label to "Last visited site:" (and use <input type="url">)

Can we use HTML5 form validation?!?!? :)

I wonder what the best way to trigger this again would be? Also, how do we stop from triggering it when we are done? If we use Java, we need to use SharedPreferences off the main thread. I suppose controlling this in Java makes the most sense.
Looks like we still need to add the "Copy Feedback" part of the one feature, right?

Hm I actually wonder if we even need a "close page" link at that point. Maybe just having a thank you message is enough? And users can either close the tab if they want or go somewhere else from this page.

I like Marks comment about changing the title to "Last Visited Site" and indicate that it's optional. What if we also pre-filled the field with the URL of your last site?

I feel like having a link to close the tab easily is nice, instead of making users open up the tab UI to do it. Also, when that tab is closed, the tab that we would have shown when opening the app will be right there and they can get back to their business (instead of them thinking they need to go back to the awesomebar to navigate to a different page).

I got HTML5 form validation to work, so don't trouble yourself with this!

I believe this has everything except the finalized copy/graphic assets.
I built this on top of the other patch I wrote in this bug, and I changed the preference behavior to keep track of the number of times the app is launched from the shortcut, rather than using history count as a metric for showing the page. Tapping "Maybe later" just resets that count, so we start over again. Otherwise, we'll stop counting and never show the page again.
One potential flaw with this approach is that we only go through the onNewIntent code path if the app is already running, so it's not counting launches from a killed app, but maybe that's ok? If it's not, we may need to keep track of a separate boolean pref about whether or not we've shown the feedback page, since we would be incrementing the launch count in a different place where we're not deciding to show the feedback page (or we could change that as well).

Hi folks here is our latest UI flow with finalized copy in it. (I'll post all the strings that we need to translate in the next comment)
We have tweaked the flow to make it more optimal in terms of getting happy people over to Google Play, and people with potentially negative feedback over to Firefox Input.
If I have time before tomorrow I might do a couple of fun illustrations to add in, but other than that this can be considered final UI. :)

How will it work for non-English feedback? Will these "real people" look at non-English comments?
If not, then localized builds should not promise it.

Feedback on the input.mozilla.org dashboard has a "Translate Message" option, so real people can look at a message translated by a machine ;)
I agree we shouldn't make any false promises, but I think that given our translation capabilities, we should at least be able to get the gist of what a non-English user has to say.

Re fielding international feedback, agreed, and also we've been doing sprints reaching out to our l10n community to field the input in other languages before for desktop, with quite some success.
On the actual feature, this turns out to be a healthy amount of strings, that need careful translation for tone etc. Not exactly the type of work I'd favor to rush to end-users on the side of localized builds.

Comment 29•12 years ago

This has the updated flow and strings, but it still has a few polish issues. Ian, I updated the APK in my dropbox, but here are the issues I'm facing:
-Using font-family:"Open Sans Light"; for the header text doesn't change anything for on my Galaxy Nexus. Do we know what fonts phones ship with? Is there something different we should use, if anything?
-For the buttons, I used CSS gradients that imitate the styles of the sync promo button. You may want to double check my colors there (and all the other colors in my CSS, for that matter).
-I'm having a tough time putting the stars in the middle of the border like in the mock-ups. I can keep trying to get this to work, but maybe we can put the stars somewhere else, or ditch them?
We can also work on making high-quality localization notes for this feature. I agree with Axel that tone is really important here, and we need to make sure localizers understand what we're aiming for.

If localization for Fx16 is too much of a crunch (we are late), we can turn off this feature for everything but en-US. Marketing has large goals for end-of-year and they feel this type of mechanism is key to achieving those goals.
Axel and Margaret's concern for the tone of the translations is spot on, and that alone might be reason enough to hold off on other locales for Fx16.

We should be shipping "Open Sans Light" with Fennec, but you probably need one of Brian's patches, which moves the CSS to content.css, in order to use it in the about page. This should not block getting this feature landed though.

The "Send Feedback" button looks good to me :)

We'll play around a bit and try to get them working.
Comment 32•12 years ago

I agree, it'd probably be better to wait and get the translated copy feeling right for this UI. Particularly if we can still ship the English one for now and disable this feature for other languages until it's ready.
--
Margaret this is looking great. I have some comments attached in a mockup here. Mostly just minor colour nitpicking, and font styling. Updating that background image so the UI flows into the header more smoothly would be great too. You can grab an updated graphic here: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/2182500/abouthome_bg.png
I'd also like to keep pushing on the star design, since Mark sounds like he might have a plan for how to implement it. :)

Okay, I think this is finally ready for review.
I decided to just fold my big patch into the previous patch I wrote about opening about:feedback from onNewIntent because most of the changes from that patch were getting changed again in the next patch.
Things that went into this latest version:
-Addressed Ian's style nits.
-Auto-filling "Last visited site". I changed the placeholder to "http://", so the user will see that if their browser history is empty, or if they delete the auto-filled URL.
-Added stars on the "rate us" page.
-Added a max-width to the section style rules, so that this will look okay on tablets.

I think this is ready to get into Nightly. Things we still might do:
* Limit the appearance of the feedback prompt to en-US only, since this very late for l10n.
* Limit the appearance of the feedback prompt to Beta and Final releases. For now, let's keep it on for Nightly and Aurora so we can test the feature.

If we want to give this a chance to bake on Nightly for a bit before Aurora users see it, we should consider turning off the prompt in Aurora after the merge tomorrow, and we can re-enable it after giving bugs a chance to surface on Nightly.
Also, we should start thinking about how we'd go about turning off the prompt for certain locales if we want that as a option. I feel like we may need to switch some of our logic around to get that to work.

We'll open a new "about:feedback" tab after the user launches the app by tapping on the app shortcut icon 10 times. Because of the way we implemented this by putting the check in onNewIntent, we will only count launches when the app is already running (so cold starts won't count). If the user selects "Maybe later", we reset this counter to 0 and start over. Otherwise, we should never show it again.
You can also test the feedback page directly by navigating to "about:feedback". If there is only one tab open, the "Maybe later" and "No thanks" links won't work, since those just close the tab, and we never close the last tab. Also, the link to the play store may seem like it doesn't work properly, but that's because there's no "org.mozilla.fennec" in the play store. It should work correctly for beta/release (something good to check when verifying those builds in the future).

Hi, would anyone please post a screenshot with the "Or else." string visible. I have no idea how to translate it to make sense.

Ian's mockups contain all of the strings in context:
https://bug774479.bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=654747
I also filed bug 786013 about adding more localization notes to make it easier to translate this text. The "Or else." is supposed to be humorous, and I worry that the humor might get lost in translation.

Is "Or else." equivalent to "Or not." here?

This makes me feel that bug 786013 is very important. "Or not." is exactly the opposite of "Or else."
"Or else." is an English idiom meaning "No matter what." See http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/or_else

Your source says that "or else" "implies an unspecified threat". I'm not sure Firefox should deliver threats to its (already unhappy) users. :)

In this case the implicit threat would be against ourselves. "We're going to look at your feedback and try to resolve your issue. Or else [... we'll fire all the people working on Firefox for Android]." Or something like that. It makes sense in English :)
Anyway, for translation purposes, I think localizes should just treat the phrase as "No matter what." and do whatever sounds good in their locale :)

I'm not sure that "or, else" really works in english either.
When I read it I interpreted as meaning "otherwise or as an alternative" but we gave no meaning to the case that people might not be able to look at the feedback, or we might not be able to fix the problem.
I'm not sure if we have a guaranteed response rate or problem resolution rate for the part where we state that "Rest assured that real people will look at your feedback and do their very best to resolve your issue" but unless its close to 5 nines I don't think we should make these kind of claims.
who is on the hook for replies the to feedback and fixing of problems?
I'd recommend that we just remove
37 <!ENTITY sad.thanksMessageBottom "Or else.">

We can't reply to Feedback in the marketplace without a Google top developer account. Michele Luna has been reviewing feedback and reporting back in the Firefox for Android engineering and Platform coordination meetings.

Maybe not, but realize that we are trying to be a bit playful here and not too cold. Maybe we should use "Scout's honor" or "We promise". In any case, each locale will need to try something suitable, or decide to go cold and clinical. It's up to them.

5 nines? :)
I think you are taking this a bit too seriously. No user signed a Service Level Agreement with Mozilla.

The SUMO team has been handling feedback so far.

Noted. We should at least make sure the space is hidden if a locale decides to leave the text empty.

Just to be clear, we (SUMO team) aren't going to be replying to the feedback here either. There's not mechanism at the moment for this and if we do it, it needs to undergo a crapton of privacy review first.

Not sure if it will help other localizers looking into this bug, but I decided to translate it as "It's a promise" (not too formal and still makes sense as a standalone sentence).

We're not saying — or even implying — that there will be a response, just that someone will "try their best" to resolve the user's issue. Then we make a joke. I think comment 44 and comment 48 explain it very well.
I've also created some localization notes over at bug 786013 if anyone's interested.

we've used similar light-hearted approaches on crash reporting and other feedback places. users (especially non-technical users) don't read it that way, especially under stressful situations where they have a problem, and they want to tell us about it, and get it resolved. joking around under these kind of situations only throws gasoline on the fires of their frustration.

Was just responding to comment 46/48 where it was implied. I'm not following the bug very closely.
I think the summary here is that some users like a lighthearted tone, some users are upset by it. If you want data, I can give you examples of both in reaction to the "this is embarrassing" messaging but would that really help us make a decision here? I think we're overrotating on things in this bug -- if these two words really piss people off, I'm sure we'll hear about it (this is feedback after all).

Except this doesn't come up after a crash or in some other negative situation. It's a voluntary form. And even if they have negative feedback, this comes up after they've submitted it and it only serves to reinforce that we want to help resolve the issue.
Ultimately, who has final say on something like this?

When we make an official beta build, we should double check to make sure the play store link opens the Firefox Beta app listing. Marking qawanted to make sure this gets onto someone's checklist :)

I am waiting for the next Beta build I will handle this.
Everything works as expected on m-a.

Should we guard for non-official broken/different Android phones where this doesn't work?

Do you have examples of these phones and how common this situation would be? If the phone can't handle a market:// URI, that implies it doesn't have the Play store, which means that we have a different problem, right?

It's been a while since I installed CyanogenMod, from what I remember the Android Market at the time was not bundled unless I installed a third party GApps package (http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Latest_Version/Google_Apps).

FWIW, I was able to set up a Nexus 7 tablet last week without specifying a Google account. I don't know that it is common to set up a tablet without a Google account but it is certainly possible.

I'm talking about the lack of a vending.apk (Google Play) application on the device which is setup to handle those intents :-)
Perhaps this can be simulated by disabling Google Play (pm disable com.android.vending) ? I don't have root to try out.

Firefox Beta is opened in Google Play as expected. No issues were noticed so far regarding this feature on the latest Beta build.
