When I do a search (eg. https://marketplace.firefox.com/search?q=game) it defaults to the expanded view with the screenshots - I think I remember that being an experiment at the time and I'm wondering if we've done any analysis to see if that's beneficial (do we have this hooked up to GA?  Otherwise any user testing?).

I bring it up because those search pages can be easily 5MB+ in size and as we start worrying about performance (both processing and EDGE network) I'm wondering if that's a thing we can cut out.

So:

1) Is it still a useful view?

2) Is it still a useful view as the default?

I personally would absolutely never use the Marketplace if the search pages did not offer a screenshot view. I would have to click every search result to see if the app was worth my time.

Fireplace was designed such that on mobile we always default to show the compact (non-screenshot) view. On desktop we default to show the expanded (screenshot) view. If the user requests to see the screenshot view, we ought to respect that user's choice.

The bugs described are bug 983346 are due to a mistake in our JS (I presume) wherein we are accidentally loading the images even if they are not rendered on-screen to the user.

I'm not sure if we're tracking this specifically in GA, but we can if we're not. In the short term we can do a quick sentiment analysis style test and get a quick read on how people in general feel about it.

We track in GA a "Toggle Description" interaction. 
If you have a Mozilla GA account you can add this customized report for App View Interactions: https://www.google.com/analytics/web/template?uid=FPixxV3CROyT5PgCY6RyoQ

If I read the data correctly, around 9% of all visits toggle the description, which may be pretty high considering not all visits would have a screen or get to a screen where this option is offered.  Around 10% of unique visitors use the feature on a monthly basis.  I think that is pretty high, and higher among firefox os users most likely because they start off with a compact screen.  Further flow analysis would probably get deeper insights.

But to summarize.  I think it is used and probably beneficial if it is being used.

5MB download on a toggle sounds like a lot of data for an EDGE network.  Can these screenshots be optimized further - or can we reduce the number of items and/or screenshots fetched.

Sounds like this question is answered, so I'll close the bug.  Thanks.
