FAQ

Why does Test Pilot require JavaScript?

  • We use JavaScript to render the user interface of Test Pilot.
  • We use JavaScript to manage experiment installations.
  • We use JavaScript to collect data to help us improve Test Pilot in accordance with our Terms of Use and Privacy Notice.

Since Test Pilot is an open source project, you can see all of the cool ways we use JavaScript by examining our code.

Why isn't a Test Pilot icon showing up in my toolbar?

How can I contribute?

First, you will want to take a look at our CONTRIBUTING.md file.

If you want to be part of the discussion, you can checkout the Test Pilot category on the Mozilla Discourse forum. You will find subcategories for individual experiments here as well.

If you'd like to contribute to an experiment, take a look at the experiment's detail page on Test Pilot for the most up to date link to the experiment's repository.

I used to see an experiment, but now it's missing?

We've recently shipped localization for Test Pilot and decided to restrict experiments from certain locales to ensure a smooth roll out. We didn't uninstall any experiments, but if your default language is German, some experiments may have been hidden from Test Pilot. Experiments you've previously installed are still accessible through about:addons and can be uninstalled from there. It's also possible that the experiment you're looking for has already graduated. You can see graduated experiments by clicking on the View Past Experiments button on Test Pilot.

Where can I file a bug?

Test Pilot bugs can be filed on the Test Pilot GitHub repo. link

You will find a link to report bugs for individual experiments on the experiment's detail page on Test Pilot for the most up to date link.
