- An unofficial support work in progress always DRAFT report for Firefox for Android 59 for power users and mozilla support volunteers, NOT for "normal" :-) users, what are we missing? either edit or irc me :rolandtanglao on #sumo or email me rtanglao AT mozilla.com or slack me @roland (you can find me in #sumo2). My apologies that some some of the linked documents are employee only; I wish we could be more "default by open" but not my call!
- After the end of the first 3 weeks we should do a pretty report in Google Docs with graphs!
- Also please note that we are not qualitative researchers, if you want something more scientific :-), please contact Matt Grimes of Strategy and Insights; his excellent team of qualitative and quantitative researchers can do something more formal and cool for you!

- unsolicited notification for Pocket Hits aka bug 1445722 - User reports about unsolicited native notifications from Firefox for Android <-- WONT FIX but maybe we can write a SUMO article about how to turn off Android OS notifications
