      • Are there any other good places for help-topic links?
    • Discussion in mozilla.support.planning

Support Forum

  • Traffic dropping steadily. Not sure why but that’s a good thing. Potential reasons:
    • No direct link to Firefox Support from mozilla.com top nav
    • Less people upgrade to Firefox 3 now than some weeks before — many problems are occurring when upgrading
    • Better content in the Knowledge Base — better knowledge of which issues are the most common

    • Traffic slightly up, around 75% of chats answered
    • 14 new accounts last week
    • Number of helpers taking at least one chat: 9
