1807389 - QR Scanner Shortcut

Status: NEW

(Firefox for Android :: QR, enhancement)

Description

[Chris Peterson [:cpeterson]]

From github: https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/fenix/issues/11829.

What is the user problem or growth opportunity you want to see solved?

As a user I'm looking for a fast way to experience the content behind a qr-code. Having a shortcut on my home screen (android launcher) that takes me directly into the qr-code scanner, so I can quickly browse to the target of the qr-code, would be very convenient.

How do you know that this problem exists today? Why is this important?

It takes a couple of steps to scan a qr-code and that increases the friction of opening the link behind a qr-code.

Who will benefit from it?

Anyone that scans qr-codes.
