Revision Content
Test Pilot is a program to allow early adopter users to test experimental new Firefox features. Each Test Pilot feature experiment will iterate and improve over time, so Test Pilot experiments may seem less complete and less polished than other Firefox features.
Feedback from the Test Pilot community will help decide how an experiment should progress and whether a feature should launch in release Firefox.
