Over the last few years, the Test Pilot team has developed innovative features for Firefox desktop and mobile, collaborating directly with Firefox users to improve the browser \u2013 from <\/span>reminders to return to a tab on your desktop<\/span><\/a> to <\/span>a simple and secure way to keep track of your passwords<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Today, just in time for the holiday shopping season, the Firefox Test Pilot team is introducing Email Tabs — the latest experimental feature designed to give users more choice and transparency when shopping online. This game-changing desktop tool is sure to make shopping a breeze with more options to save, share, track and shop. We\u2019ve also made a few updates to the Test Pilot program itself to make it even easier to become a part of the growing Firefox users testing new features. <\/span><\/p>\n

Email Tabs \u2013 Save and share content seamlessly as you browse the web<\/b><\/h2>\n

While there are many tools to help users share and save links when browsing, research shows that most of us still rely on email to get the job done \u2013 a manual process that requires multiple steps and services. We think there\u2019s a better way. With <\/span>Email Tabs<\/span><\/a>, you can select and send links to one or many open tabs all within Firefox in a few short steps, making it easier than ever to share your holiday gift list, Christmas recipes or just about anything else. <\/span><\/p>\n

To start, click the Email Tabs icon at the top the browser, select the tabs you want and decide how much of the content you want to send \u2013 just the links, a screenshot preview or full text \u2013 then hit send and it\u2019ll automatically be sent to your Gmail inbox.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Decide how you want to send whether its links, screenshot preview or full text<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

How about saving the links for future reference? Email Tabs also lets you copy multiple tabs to Clipboard for outside sharing. The feature only works with Gmail right now, but we\u2019re working on adding more clients in the near future. This will be seamless if you’re logged into Gmail already, if not you can always log in once you’re prompted.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Copy one or multiple tabs to Clipboard<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

And of course, the best part of Email Tabs? With Firefox private browsing and content blocking features, you can shop online with extra protection against tracking this holiday season. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Improved Test Pilot for Users to Shape Firefox<\/b><\/h2>\n

We appreciate the thousands of Firefox users who have participated in the Test Pilot program since we started this journey. It\u2019s their voice and impact that have motivated and inspired us to continue to develop features and services. Thanks to their support, we\u2019re happy to share that several of our experiments are ready for graduation. <\/span><\/p>\n

Send<\/span><\/a>, which lets you upload and encrypt large files (up to 1GB) to share online, will be updated and unveiled later this year. Our Summer experiments, Firefox <\/span>Color<\/span><\/a>, which allows you to customize several different elements of your browser, including background texture, text, icons, the toolbar and highlights, and <\/span>Side View<\/span><\/a>, which allows you to view two different browser tabs in the same tab, within the same browser window, will graduate as standalone extensions.<\/span><\/p>\n

We\u2019re always working to improve our Test Pilot program to encourage Firefox users to participate and provide feedback on the latest Firefox features. With this version of Test Pilot, we\u2019ve simplified the steps to make it easier for users to participate than before.
