966020 - Enable whatsnew survey page temporarily for Aurora builds with Australis

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Tyler Downer [He/Him]]

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #950405 +++

We'd like to do the same thing we did in Bug #950405 in Aurora roughly two weeks after uplift. We will have a new survey to link to that we will provide shortly.

I just filed bug 966014 to show the tour on Aurora from day one. I guess this bug can just be for webdev to add the survey link after two weeks?

Comment 2

[Tyler Downer [He/Him]]

No, this will be another survey, similar to the one we ran in 950405, that will show a what's new page to all en-us Aurora users after two weeks of Australis being on Aurora. It will be separate from the shorter, UI Tour specific surveys we run in 966014. This survey is more targeted to australis in general and will allow us to measure the impact that the education pieces + more polish have had on overall user perception after two weeks of usage.

Fixed a small error in the patch I missed before testing with MOZ_UPDATE_CHANNEL == aurora

You should make sure you won't hit an issue like bug 966014 comment 10 at least locally (for browser/components/test/) with a build using the aurora update channel or on Try with a custom mozconfig[1].

I think putting this in build/mozconfig.common.override should be enough but I'm not sure:
ac_add_options --enable-update-channel=aurora
ac_add_options --enable-official-branding

Remember to only land on Aurora.

Thanks

I think we should use the same pref from Nightly to avoid more "user set" pref pollution. I doubt we really care about the people who went between Nightly and Aurora since the last survey.

The survey page was properly displayed after the update on each tested environment.
Marking issue as verified.

Hey everyone, I think we've got about as many responses as we can expect with this survey, so we can go ahead and take it down at your earliest convenience. Thanks!

Tyler, it will naturally stop launching in-product when Aurora becomes version 30 (~tomorrow). The page from bug 970957 can probably be taken down shortly after that.

Comment 12

[Tyler Downer [He/Him]]

Sounds perfect. Thanks!

I have filed bug 984507 to take the page down once Aurora becomes version 30. Thanks
