986644 - [UX] UX design for private browsing mode in-content page

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Firefox :: Private Browsing, defect)

Description

[Zhenshuo Fang (:fang) - Firefox UX Team]

Need new design for the private browsing in-content page:

1) New visual style that's consistent with the new in-content page style
2) New icon on the page that's consistent with the one in the menu panel
3) The copy on the page can be simpler, glancable, easier to understand

Note that this page also links to <https://support.mozilla.org/1/firefox/30.0a1/Darwin/en-US/private-browsing>, which means we may want to change the copy there too.

Attachment: Mockup: New private browsing mode in-content page

Attached is a new visual style for in-content pages on private browsing windows.

The style is consistent with in-content page styles, as specified by Project Chameleon (http://people.mozilla.org/~jgruen/chameleon/#nav4 and about:preferences in Fx29+).

I also simplified the language a bit, removing redundancies in referring to this window.  I’ll open another bug for implementation after closing this one.

Since the whole theme will be darker in private browsing, shouldn't the in-content page be black with the venetian mask purple (the menu button can be seen purple in private browsing mockups) ?

The private browsing tab on Android can also be used as a reference.
