What’s up with SUMO – Q3 2023

Hi everybody,

Sarto here! It’s been a great 4 months! The time really flew by. First and foremost I would like to thank the community here at Mozilla for for giving me grace and also showing me how passionate you guys truly are. I’ve worked in a handful of communities in the past but, by far, Mozilla has the most engaged community I’ve come across. The work that you guys put into Mozilla is commendable and valuable. For the community members and contributors that I was able to meet and interact with during my time here, thank you for sharing that passion with me. I’m handing the baton back over to Kiki. Till next time, keep on rocking the helpful web!

Cheers!

Welcome note and shout-outs from Q3

  • Big thanks to Paul who helped investigate 3 different incidents for Firefox in the last 2 weeks. There has been a huge amount of work going on for the CX team this quarter and you being involved in these incidents to help provide forum examples, follow up with users, and help herd some community folks to investigate has been very helpful.
  • Thanks to Jscher2000, Danny Colin, Paul, jonzn4SUSE, Dan, TyDraniu, and Zulqarnainjabbar99 for your input in the thread about UX Pain points leading to users leaving Firefox in the first 30 days.
  • Thank you to everyone who contributed to the release of Firefox 117 for Desktop, as well as all of the contributors who participated in the release thread.
  • Shout out to Paul for his work updating the Browsing history in Firefox – View the websites you have visited article for FireFox v118.
  • Shout out to Mark Heijl for his amazing job getting dutch article translations (incl. all the pocket ones) to a 100%!. And thank you Tim for bringing this to our attention!
