Hi Matej- We are working with the Fx engineers to whitelist the https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/sync/ page to allow users to open the menu panel to sign up for Sync directly from a button on the page. (As is possible currently on firstrun and whatsnew (https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/29.0/firstrun/) Therefore, we should rethink the text currently on that page. Do you want to take a stab at it? Set up time to chat if you want to talk about it! Thx, Jen
Depends on: 1024581
Is it 4 steps we want to revise? Does that mean we don't want to say where the menu is anymore and just have them click something to open it? There are a couple of other issues on this page: • The tracking of the subheads is way too tight. We need to open that up a bit. • The colon after "fast, safe and easy" looks odd with how it's positioned now. I would make that a period instead. • We should remove the period on "Get more detailed instructions »"
It's worth noting that we're not opening the menu panel via the new API on this page. The button links directly to about:accounts Holly's suggestion here is probably also worth consideration when it comes to appropriate copy/user flows https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1024581#c7
This button will also only appear for Firefox Desktop users on version 31 and above. We still also need fallback copy for users on version 29/30 I guess, as well as Firefox for Android/Mobile? I'm not sure if visitors from any other (non-Firefox) browsers visit this page, but maybe that's also something to consider.
Actually, looking at the current copy this page is very much geared toward just Firefox for Desktop, so I guess we just need to think about version 29/30 users who will not get the new button.
To be honest, I'm not sure where that leaves us exactly. Will one version just give people a link and the other way stay as is?
The situation is, for Firefox 31 users and up, we can link directly to 'about:accounts?action=signup' via a CTA button. For users on older Firefox versions, the page is as you see it now.
For Firefox 31 users and above, I'm tempted to make it really clean and simple and just use this copy: Get started with Sync It’s fast, safe and easy. Where "Get Started with Sync" is a big button. Then we could still keep "Get more detailed instructions." and "Using an older version of Sync?" as links. WDYT?
Status: NEW → ASSIGNED
Hi Arcadio- Please provide information in this bug about the copy you would like to see on the Firefox/sync page for when we can link directly to the sign up flow here: http://cl.ly/image/3Z1b1C261Y3o Please define primary and secondary goals for this page. Thx, Jen PS here are the notes from our meeting https://etherpad.mozilla.org/sync-page-30july

Hi Everyone. So sorry this is very late. Below is my take at messaging and conditional content. Would love to connect one more time on the 31 vs older than 31 builds and what that impact to the flow is so I can understand the glitch there. Not sure this is what you all had in mind so happy to connect on Monday to see where we can find the right balance for this page. The new Sync page should do the following: Cross-promote the benefits of Sync across all devices - Desktop, Android mobile and tablet devices - Promote downloads of Firefox for Android to take full advantage of Sync Demonstrate scenarios in which Sync is amazing - Work -> commute (bookmarks, tabs, history) - Commute -> bookmarks, passwords, history - At home: Desktop - > tablet (passwords, bookmarks, tabs, history) Place Sync in the context of the user and the scenario using lifestyle photography if possible - Desktop - > Tablet - Desktop -> mobile device - Desktop -> Laptop Deliver Firefox privacy and security messages and how it carries across devices Benefits of Sync (longform) Sync is about bringing your web with you wherever you go. Your browser is a very personal thing in your life. You tweak it, you customize it, you utilize in a way that makes your life easier. As a consumer of content on the web, you should have the same experience at your work desk, your commute, your couch and your social events. Access your favorite websites and stories. Stay on top of work. Keep your favorite recipes within easy reach wherever you. Sync allows users to choose what to sync between devices. You can sync your bookmarks, web history, share open tabs and your passwords. You work hard at personalizing your browser and you shouldn’t have to do it more than once. With Firefox Sync you can take your web with you anywhere you go. Primary and Secondary goals for this page Primary Goal: Drive Sync/Account registrations Secondary Goal: Demonstrate the benefits of Sync across multiple devices How you want to handle the following conditional content situations: User on Fx build older than 31: - Users on builds older than 31 should click to the about:accounts GET STARTED page - Users on builds older than 29: - How do we show them the benefits of new Sync? - Serve option to upgrade to latest version of Firefox and Sync - Users on 31 or above will click the bug to go directly to the sign-up page - User not on Firefox - Download Firefox - Fast. Safe. Easy messaging - Benefits of Sync messaging user not on desktop: - User on Android mobile? - Message: Sync your Firefox for Android browser with your Firefox desktop browser. - Add Sync button to send directly to the sign-up page - Sync should be the main message here if we’re coming from a Sync web page - Revise instructions to send user to Firefox for Android Sync in the context menu - Show the Android browser Settings menu where the user can register Sync or sign in ( I don’t think this page can be accessed by URL) 3. user already using sync On desktop: - Sync your tablet and mobile devices. Get the best of your web by syncing your Android mobile phone and tablets.

Thanks, Arcadio. I'll set up time for you to chat with the Creative team (Lee, Troy, and Matej) as I feel like this is more work than we scoped in our July 30 meeting. The new functionality doesn't work in builds older than 31 because the Fx engineers didn't add it before Fx 31. We can discuss more in our meeting. I've asked Mike to reassess the schedule based on proposed scope and when the requirements were provided.
Here's a revised schedule: https://app.smartsheet.com/b/publish?EQBCT=852d1057b2d04df9b07adf14ff347089 It pushes the launch date one week. Once we review requirements and scope we'll see if timing is still feasible.
Additional examples of how we talk about Sync: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/desktop/tips/#sync https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/30.0/whatsnew/ (and I'll add a screenshot of this one)

(In reply to Jennifer Bertsch [:jbertsch] from comment #14) > Created attachment 8472536 [details] > whatsnew with sync cta Thanks, Jen. I think we said different things on What's New and First Run. If you could screenshot both, that would be great.

Here's what we tell new users about sync: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/30.0/firstrun/ I'll add a screenshot too.

6 scenarios for conditional Sync content on the top of the page: 1. Fx 31+ user, not signed in 2. Fx 29-30 user 3. Fx 28 or below user 4. non-Fx User 5. Fx for Android user 6. Fx 31+ user, signed in I'll attached wireframes outlining what to show on the top part of the page for each scenario. The bottom part of the page will always be about Sync benefits.

Thanks, Jen. That's awesome! Also, "Get Sync. It rocks." should totally be the new copy. Troy, have a look to make sure that all makes sense. Also have a read through the early part of the bug. I realize there was a bit of copy exploration there as well. Let us know if you have any questions.
(In reply to Matej Novak [:matej] from comment #22) Sounds good. Thanks. > Thanks, Jen. That's awesome! > > Also, "Get Sync.

fyi the new sync sign up page is live: about:accounts?action=signup This is where we will direct a user after they click the "sign up for sync" button

Hey Matej, Following up on expanding selected scenarios in which "Sync Rocks". Going to add more than we need to give you options. Bookmarks * Commuting: a user can quickly access their bookmarked pages so they can continue reading their favorite stories or keep up with their news or social sites while on their mass transit commute. * Social situations: as user sometimes I need quick access to things like trivia, one-liners or drink recipes. It's nice that I have access to my bookmarked pages on all my devices * Work: I like to sync my work computer to my mobile devices because I always want to be prepared Passwords * Convenience: As a user, when I sync my passwords across all my device, it makes accessing the password-protected sites that I visit (bank, social networks, medical) easy and convenient. I don't have to remember each password and I don't have to use mobile keyboards to type in complicated passwords. My passwords a pre-populated into the form fields and all I have to do is tap "enter" Send Tabs (this is different than bookmarks because it sends the websites you're currently reading on one browser to other synced browsers) * Directions: As user sometimes, I want to continue using my content from one device to another. I might be searching for map directions on my laptop before I have to leave the house, if I sync my accounts, the tabs I have open on my desktop or tablet Firefox for Android browser will appear in my Sync panel of my Firefox for Android browser on my smartphone. * Couch surfing: When it's time to step away from my desktop computer and catch up on some Thursday night TV, I like to continue reading my web content on my smartphone or tablet while I'm enjoying my favorite shows. Syncing my browser tabs allows me to easily continue reading without having to search
Arcadio, that's awesome. Thanks for all the fodder. Definitely more than we need or can accommodate on the page, but there are ways we can consolidate info to give an overall picture of the benefits of Sync. One clarification: Is "Send Tabs" the name of a feature? That's the first time I'm seeing that. Troy, hopefully everything in comment 26 is clear. Let us know if you have any questions.
Up. It's a lot and I don't expect all of it to be used. Just wanted to give it some more flavor. Send Tabs = Sync Tabs This is one of the things you can ask the browser to sync when you register or manage you Sync account. All the things you can Sync are - Bookmarks - Passwords - History - Open Tabs

Cool, that's what I thought. Just wanted to make sure there wasn't a new feature coming, something where you could select a tab and then say "Send to…" a particular device.
(In reply to Matej Novak [:matej] from comment #27) All good. I should have a copy deck to share in a little bit. Thanks. > Arcadio, that's awesome. Thanks for all the fodder.

Hey everyone Here is the link to my copy deck. There's quite a bit in there, with all the different versions, so make sure you have a read through everything. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Qwe71KAeWROzAheAC87EfC6iduSpFbgimulAq4327hM/edit?usp=sharing Thanks, Troy

Love the copy and really appreciate you breaking out all the versions like that. I left some comments, but I'd love to hear what others think as well. Lee, in the meantime, I think you're safe to start playing around with this in layout. Thanks.
Hey everyone Thanks for all the helpful comments. I've updated the doc with a bunch of new / revised copy. Have a look and let me know what you think. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Qwe71KAeWROzAheAC87EfC6iduSpFbgimulAq4327hM/edit?usp=sharing Thanks, Troy
I see there are six variations of the page: 1. Firefox 31 (signed-out) 2. Firefox 31 (signed-in) 3. Firefox 29 & 30 4. Firefox <=28 5. Not Firefox 6. Firefox for Android Can one of these variations be deemed the "default" for cases where browser detection fails (or javascript is disabled)? Or perhaps another variation of the text is required for this case?

Troy can move forward with any remaining edits - I've been monitoring the comments and don't have any thing to add.

(In reply to Jennifer Bertsch [:jbertsch] from comment #37) Awesome. I'll get started. Thanks, everyone.
Troy, I'm working on implementation and there are some variations in the Google Doc across versions that I'm not sure are intentional. Are the "Sync a little. Sync a lot" sections and "At home / At work / On the go" sections supposed to vary? I'm seeing a few differences like: "Move from your desk to the couch..." vs. "Move from your computer to the couch..." "Stay connected to all your..." vs. "Stay connected to all of your..." Are there blocks of text that you can identify that do not change between page-variations? Thanks.

Hey Steven Sorry, those should all be the same. I'll jump into the doc and straighten everything out. Thanks for catching those.

Thanks Troy. I'm trying to sort out the variations of content for the different scenarios and I'm trying a quick spreadsheet. Can you take a look and help me work out which pieces of content vary for each visitor type, and which are consistent? Spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1aY3vmkUIzbOwPPo6mjncIvlPqeag30RZkBKhwZQnabw/edit?usp=sharing Annotated page: https://www.dropbox.com/s/y0zatue4akw8lhi/annotations.pdf?dl=0

Hey Steven No problem. What exactly do you need me to do? Should I just starting filling in the spreadsheet?
Flags: needinfo?(troy)
I see in the copy that there is text for both: CTA / REMINDER FOR DESKTOP USERS and CTA / REMINDER FOR MOBILE USERS A few questions about this: 1. Does the "CTA / REMINDER" refer to the darker-blue background section of the page (the part with the android robot)? 2. How should we determine "mobile" vs. "desktop" for the CTA area? We have checks for "Firefox for Android", and we have CSS media queries that hide/show content based on screen size, but we don't have a simple "is this a mobile device or a desktop device" check.

I think Jen would be the best person to answer questions like these, but she's on PTO. With her out, who can help Steven?
I've added the content to the variation spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/a/silverorange.com/spreadsheets/d/1aY3vmkUIzbOwPPo6mjncIvlPqeag30RZkBKhwZQnabw/edit#gid=0 The cells with a question-mark are those that I'm not sure of. B6: Just confirming that there is no "warning" text for this variation. I think that's right - Please confirm. C21/C23 through G21/G23: For the CTA section for mobile users, is there just a 'sub-heading', not a Heading or Button? If so, is there an alternate design for this variation, or should I just use the blue background and drop the android/headline/button? Thanks.
Hey Steven Right on both of those — no warning on B6 and no CTA or button for the other cells you highlighted. I made the changes in your doc. Thanks, Troy
