970743 - Add android:summary text to Customize > Home

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Richard Newman [:rnewman]]

It's the first item in the list, which puts it fairly near the Android "up stack" button location. Even knowing what I was looking for, the phrasing confused me into thinking this would take me 'home'.

Can we reword this to "Home pages" or something like that? (And ideally add a subtext "Change which pages appear when you start Firefox"?)

Let's just use the subtitle text to give a hint as to the purpose, instead of trying to let one or two words convey the entire intent. "Home" is fine as a main title IMO.

WFM!

Comment 3

[Aaron Train [:aaronmt]]

I'm convinced using the suggestion from bug 965377 would solve many of these issues.

Comment 4

[Richard Newman [:rnewman]]

Yeah, that's what mfinkle and I were referring to when we said "subtext". Thanks for the bug link, Aaron!

Ian what do you want do?

[Chenxia Liu [:liuche]]

If we want strings, this will have to be 30. Subtext sounds like the right way to go.

Title: Home

Additional subtext suggestions:
- Select which home panels Firefox shows
- Select which home panels to show
- Select your home pages for Firefox

Alternative suggestions because we display the home panel pages whenever enter editing mode, not just on startup.

The use of "home panels" as a term might be confusing; once we support setting arbitrary urls as a home panel, we could use "home pages", but that's not in v1.

Thanks for nudging this along, Chenxia. I like yours, though I'm not sure "home panels" is a super clear concept to express to users yet. I've suggested a few  options below, the first one is more specific and the second two are more general. Let me know what you folks think.

Home 
Choose what to show on your homepage

Home
Customize your homepage experience

Home
Customize your homepage

> Customize your homepage

I like this one. It's general, tells me it's about customization, but doesn't give too much detail which could become stale or might be confusing.

Awesome. We should do bug 978825 (add a summary to "Search") at the same time as this

Comment 10

[Chenxia Liu [:liuche]]

Sounds good to me! My only concern with using homepage as a term is that we don't actually support "setting your homepage" in the usual sense (and I recall strong complaints about this); co-opting the term "homepage" seems a little confusing in that respect, but let's see how people feel about it!

Removing tracking 29, since we're adding strings.

[Richard Newman [:rnewman]]

At some point we should probably allow you to really set your homepage. Some users want it…

(We'd need some perf fakery, though.)

I do not disagree :)
