There’s currently a debate going on in the Firefox support planning newsgroup about what to call the “Import” article.
The issue is that we’re trying to come up with an explanatory term to describe the profile data. We think “data” is too vague, but are having a heck of a time coming up with something shorter than “bookmarks, settings and add-ons” to describe bookmarks, settings and add-ons. “Personal Information” has been tossed about, but I think too many novice users will think that means things like their credit card numbers and address etc.
So I’m curious about two things:
- Do most novice users think we mean all the profile information when we say settings?
- What term would you use to describe all that good stuff that someone would want to keep from browser to browser or profile to profile?
FWIW this isn’t a vote for a new term or anything. I’m just curious. If we get something good maybe we’ll use it.
