    We're seeing the Edge error too, though it wasn't there in earlier QA, so it's a bit mysterious. Hopeful that we'll have some remediation soon. Source: I work on Test Pilot

    So, I'm a PM at Mozilla who did an MDes in Interaction Design at CMU. I'm a dataset of one, but my experience there was absolutely worth the cost. A few notes: - 65k is a lot, but …

    Containers are per-tab and isolate only tracking-related data (not bookmarks or history, for now). Also containers don't require that you open multiple instances of Firefox.

    1. Hello potch! 2. Yes, this is among the most requested features we've seen so far. Containers in Test Pilot will remain in active development for the foreseeable future, so I wou…

    Agreed. Right now we're pretty hands off about modifying default behaviors, link handling etc. Chalk this up to us wanting to be unopinionated about specific use cases, but there a…

    Yes this, we did some brainstorming and solicited user feedback about names and decided Containers makes sense for a general audience. Docker Containers and 'Contextual Idendities'…

    Simply, our user testing (with Windows users in particular) suggests it's a feature people find useful. We're using Test Pilot to learn a bit more, that's all. I only mentioned scr…

    Hello had browser sharing built in for awhile, but nobody used it, so we took out the feature in 49. Test Pilot is, at least in part, a program intended to let us develop ideas in …

    Test Pilot and all these experiments are OPT IN. You have to seek them out and install them separately from Firefox.

    Actually, we've made email collection/messages entirely opt in (as the result of user feedback) :) Edit: but we should update the privacy notice!

    Page Shot, like all features in Test Pilot is opt in. We have no plans to force anything on anyone. A big part of why we built test pilot in the first place was to give us a platfo…
