Firefox is my favorite web browser. That is until I have to interact with my companies website for watching training videos. Then I use Internet Explorer, or FireFox, or whatever it takes to make it work. (Don’t ask.)
Mozilla has taken a look what keyboard shortcuts and menu items are most used on Firefox and has posted some nice graphs on their website. You can also check out a heatmap based on the same data here.
In February, the Test Pilot team at Mozilla Labs rolled out a test to explore usage of the Firefox menu bar . This menu item usage study aims to help guide the UX team as they create a fully optimized design by answering 3 questions.
* Which menu items are the most commonly used?
* Which menu items are the least commonly used?
* How long do users spend exploring the menu bar contents before selecting each particular menu item?
