Mozilla is working hard to improve Firefox and we need your help to make this happen. As you use Firefox, you may be selected to rate your experience. Your feedback gives us a real-time understanding of your needs so we can act on them quickly. We also use Heartbeat to send surveys on Mozilla products, the Internet or current events relevant to users. You may also see a notification from Heartbeat if you are running a version of Firefox that is critically out of date.

Please Rate Firefox prompt

The "Please Rate Firefox" prompt will show up for a small sample of users. If you see this prompt, simply select a star rating and Firefox will report it back to Mozilla.
