Improving the video experience.</strong><br class="">Video is the
biggest use of raw bandwidth on the internet. It’s not a coincidence
that it’s also a major use of the browser on desktops and laptops, as
well as a significant minority of use on mobile platforms where people
might prefer not to install more single-use apps. How can we better
understand what video services people are watching, how they’re watching
video, and what’s the best experience we could provide for those
services? Are users who like to watch video in their browser more or
less engaged with other browser-based experiences? Does consuming media
in Firefox relate to other browsing use patterns? How could Firefox be
the best browser for video and media consumers by providing features
they’d especially value?<div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div></body></html>
