Well, remember, it's not that she immediately tried to drag things around like it was Safari -- in fact, that would have started revealing panels. Her expectations that a touch UI lets you drag canvases around should have helped her.

The interface simply DID NOT give her a clear and salient starting point to work with. Her main expectation was that it should look like a web browser (e.g., with a location bar) when it first starts up. It didn't and that was the problem.

The question here is how big of a problem is this really? It's not -- there aren't that many people who would randomly just download Firefox Mobile without reading a bit about the new touch UI first on the page they download it from. Hell, it's likely the reason why they WILL try it.

Again, the default state isn't *broken,* it's just poor (i mean literally, as in the opposite of rich), and testing a "cold start" with someone was just my way of providing evidence that there is room for improvement.
