Opening a bug to code a new version of the Firefox Nightly First Run page. For reference, the design work for that is being tracked in bug 964919. Goal: Create a very clear next step about how to contribute to QA for people who use the Nightly build. The current page has 22 links on it and it's not providing a clear pathway for people. Priority: Creating a functioning pathway for connecting with QA contributors is a key part of the 2014 goal of growing the size of the community by 10x. Having a Nightly First Run page with clear actions on it is a critical part of creating that QA pathway.

OK let me figure out how to fit it in around the MWC, Australis, and Windows 8 work. I'd love to get it done.

FYI, we also have an interest from a l10n perspective in getting that page localized and pointing to localized nightly builds as our core historical communities work on the nightly channel and we would love to gather feedback and grow our Nightly users community.

Thanks, Pascal. We'll make sure the page is localizable, and you and Flod are looped in to our workflow.

Jen, thanks for thinking about how to get this in the schedule. It will be a big help to the QA community to get it updated and live again. Pascal, very glad to hear you'd like to get this localized. That will help us connect with QA contributors who don't speak English.

Thanks so much Mike, for creating this pull request. I apologize for being so slow to review it. I'm excited to get this page out! David - I've attached an image of the page Mike created for your review. My main questions are: 1. do you want a slightly more clear,larger, called out CTA to join the QA community? 2. do you want to link to /contribute, whatcanidoformozilla.org or somewhere else?

Thanks for the screenshot. I think that this is great for now and that this will give us something to work with to get the page live in Nightlies again. I still would like to work through the design process in bug 964919 for a v2 of this that let's us optimize for the content and look of the page. That shouldn't be a blocker to just getting this going again though.

Hi David- I think I just figured out that this bug and the design bug (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=964919) are separate bugs... So, for next steps: Do you want to push out this PR now and turn it on? And then deal with designing something else later this year? Thx, Jen

Pending a more significant re-design of this page, I did a quick run-through in the Firefox webdev tools and have attached a screenshot of some proposed changes here. Changes include: 1. Pull the "Thank you." and "By using..." headlines up under the main page title, adjust font sizes accordingly. 2. Put the three lists of links in columns in a white box. 3. Drop what I think might be unnecessary punctuation (colons on the headings, and periods on the links, except for the one with two distinct sentences, though I think it might be worth re-wording that to be a single phrase. In the mobile layout sizes, the three columns would stack.

Yes, I'm fine going ahead with this change and getting to the design work for a v2 when Creative has bandwidth. (In reply to Steven Garrity [:sgarrity] from comment #14) > Created attachment 8393446 [details] > Quick layout cleanup of nightly firstrun page Looks nice. Thanks for the clean up :)

Hi, folks; Could I ask a few extra sets of eyes on this now that we've rolled over our version numbering? I just notice that I've got a hardcoded version number in my pull request, our mockups are from last week, and I'd very much like to get this right on the first try.

The URLs that we are using in bug 983453 are the same as years ago: http://www.mozilla.org/projects/firefox/%VERSION%/whatsnew/?oldversion=%OLD_VERSION% http://www.mozilla.org/projects/firefox/%VERSION%/firstrun/

To clarify, I'm talking about where those URLs land, which is being resolved in bug 964919 and https://github.com/mozilla/bedrock/pull/1751

I have a new PR (https://github.com/mozilla/bedrock/pull/1815) replacing #1751 that includes the style changes in the screenshot above. Still need to update the /whatsnew/ link. I'm going to see if this can be a non-version-specific link so it doesn't get out of date.

Yes - we are going to use this page as a firstrun and whatsnew page for the short term. Thanks Steven!
Comment 24•10 years ago

Ah, I see the firstrun page is already being used as the whatsnew page for nightly (https://github.com/mozilla/bedrock/commit/c0bdbae036198475597cbdfc17082f56df39408e). I think we're all set here.

I just noticed there's a broken link on the new Nightly First Run page. The link in the 'Learn more about your local Mozilla community' section -- it's pointing to example.com. I'm assuming it's meant to point to http://www.mozilla.org/contact/communities/
