Users get to test-drive them for a short period of time. Concepts are created by Firefox team members, but anyone can submit ideas that could be a good addition to Firefox. Once beta testing is complete, some Experiments graduate to become official features.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/wiki.mozilla.org\/Test_Pilot\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Test Pilot Wiki <\/a>shows every single step taken by the Firefox team, and is completely transparent about how they come up with ideas for features with the <a href=\"https:\/\/wiki.mozilla.org\/File:Test-initiator-journey.png\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Test Initiator Journey<\/a>. As users, an in-depth A to Z timeline really makes us feel involved with the process and that our contributions, like feature submissions or just giving general feedback, are appreciated.<\/p>\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve joined Test Pilot, you&#8217;ll have access to cutting-edge new features that will make browsing better. Do you remember life before tabs? It was brutal. Now, every browser has them. As Firefox continues innovating, Test Pilot gives you access to new features that are likely to become the essentials of the future.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;d like to see what Experiments are happening now and take part in building a great browser, head over to the <a href=\"https:\/\/testpilot.firefox.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Test Pilot page<\/a>.<\/p>\n<!-- Shortcode
