Mozilla Announces the Test Pilot

Mozilla Labs has introduced a new project called Test Pilot. The main aim of this project is to provide Mozilla developers with information they can use to test ideas and further build Firefox. This is to make the developers learn from your feedback to make things better. 

Initially Test Pilot will be available as a Firefox add-on which will collect anonymous user data. One feature of Test Pilot is that it won't actually be gathering data all the time, just when a Mozilla researcher has a specific question that needs answering, like how many browser tabs the typical user has open at any given time.It will gather only the data needed so it won’t slow down the browser nor your network.

This sounds like a great project, and Mozilla is moving forward with this. All participants will receive a “flight badge” displayed in their Test Pilot profile and available to embed on blogs, social networks, etc.

    That will be cool. Is that exclusive for mozilla developers only?

    We want the best browser to be still the best.
