Q3 lines up directly with Firefox 63, so the spirit of this quarter is to land significant functionality around AS Router (CFR, Onboarding Tour, Snippets), Mozilla build system improvements, and to make key critical improvements to Activity Stream on the Firefox newtab page.

The theme of this quarter is to start landing significant AS Router infrastructure/experiments, to push further with AS personalization/customization, to make progress moving our processes and tooling closer to Firefox dev. env. norms, and to make better decisions by better leveraging and communicating about product data, experimentation, user testing and dashboard development.

Note that Compact Highlights and Bugzy were added to as a feature this quarter, but were untracked in our OKRs.

The theme of this quarter is ongoing Newtab improvements that add better customization, preferences and more datatypes for highlights.

We are continuing our work on perceived performance and will be producing A/B timing videos on a regular basis for the most impactful use cases. This will allow us to reason about and take action on regressions and easily identify areas for improvement.

Additionally we will be generalizing the messaging and notification mechanism behind Snippets and Onboarding Tour functionality.

The focus for Q4 will be on triaging the heck out of the 57 beta and making sure we have a smooth release for Firefox Quantum. For 58, we are completely focused on performance and perceived performance improvements for Activity Stream.

The focus of this quarter is to land a provably amazing Activity Stream experience on about:home and about:newtab. In addition we will start on experiments and prototypes for next generation Activity Stream features.

We will continue to build out and productize our telemetry, analytics and experimentation products and services.

The focus of this quarter is to optimize the performance of Activity Stream and release a fully functional MVP into Firefox desktop's about:newtab and about:home.

The focus of this quarter is to fine-tune Activity Stream's engagement metrics and to land a highly engaging Activity Stream into Firefox about:newtab and about:home pages.

This quarter’s focus is on ensuring Activity Stream has good product/market fit, that our processes and tools support a data driven approach, and that we are committed to the highest levels of product quality and performance.
