Recap: A More Dynamic Experience

In a previous post, I wrote about the details of a test we were going to conduct on the Firefox download page.  To recap, the goals of the test were two-fold: improve the visit-to-download conversion rate, and provide a better user experience for site visitors by displaying relevant information about Firefox based on their browser [...]
