Feedback Summary
Desktop
Snippet Survey live on 28 now. Report soon.
General Australis sentiment has been trending up from nightly -> Aurora -> Beta, we have a general snippet survey launching soon in Beta to give us a better overall picture of what users are saying.
The UI Tour is positively received by users who take it, and does seem to help the learning curve for those users that finish the tour. Says one user: "It felt like a whole new level of support from Mozilla. It felt user-friendly in a way I am not used to from Firefox."
Mobile
No major updates at this time, beginning to do research on running surveys for Android users soon.
