Hi Mozilla Belgium community!
Pardon the message in English. My name is Shane Tomlinson,
I am a developer on the Firefox Accounts team. I am
writing to ask if someone from the Belgium community can help
us test Firefox Account's new SMS feature.
If you are able to help, here are the steps:
1. In Firefox desktop >= 57, load up a new Firefox profile, preferably with your local language set as the default to ensure the translations have made it through.
2. In the URL bar, open about:preferences#sync
3. Click "Don't have an account? Get started".
4. Sign up for a new Firefox Account, I often use my mozilla.com with a suffix on the username portion, e.g., stomlinso...@mozilla.com. This also works with gmail addresses, e.g., username...@gmail.com
5. In the same browser, copy the verification link to the URL bar and add the following query parameters: &forceExperiment=sendSms&forceExperimentGroup=signinCodes
6. If things are working up to this point, you should see a screen that says "This Firefox is connected" and a form that allows you to send yourself an SMS, the lone form field should contain a +32. If instead you see "Sign in to Firefox on another device to complete set-up" that means we haven't correctly enabled SMS in Belgium.
7. Try to enter a few invalid phone numbers - does FxA inform you that the numbers are invalid?
8. Try to send an SMS to your mobile device. Does it work? Is the SMS received?
9. If you click on the link, does it open Firefox on your device (if installed), and Firefox is not installed, is the appropriate store opened to the Firefox page?
Steps 7 and 8 are the parts being tested. Step 9 should "just work", we've tested that portion pretty thoroughly.
If you are able to help, that'd be awesome. Please reach out to me at stoml...@mozilla.com with your results.
Thank you very much and happy testing!
Shane
