Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox :: Messaging System, enhancement, P1)

Description

[Ana Medinac]

Explore if we can target messaging system messages and interfaces to users who have just signed into public wi-fi.
This will enable us to experiment on users and help users discover features that could help them stay private online.

I suspect some of the info (especially the reference links) in https://docs.google.com/document/d/15b7UqZSBgFltmE-shocilSADXHOogsx0Ig3bSVQf160/edit# will be useful in sorting through how the various parts of this fit together. I also noticed that WebExtensions are able to get access to a captivePortal property during my research.

Looks like there's state changes too that could be used to trigger a message?

Andrei, If you want to test whether this actually works (not sure whether that's truly necessary here - up to you), the NodeJS script attached to bug 1202680 still seems to work. I'd also love any feedback you've got on the tech plan, which I've updated substantially: https://docs.google.com/document/d/15b7UqZSBgFltmE-shocilSADXHOogsx0Ig3bSVQf160/edit#

Andrei, can you run a test on this just to ensure that it works, and then close the bug?
