Bugzilla

While investigating an incident, I tried the manual update flow (which happens when update checks fail too many times). A prompt appears to manually update Firefox and it contains a "Download" button. Clicking on this button will open a new tab with the following URL: `https://www.mozilla.org/<LOCALE>/firefox/`.

This isn't great because it opens the link in FF and mozilla.org does not offer a very visible "Download FF" button (because we're already using FF).

This URL was introduced about 8 years ago in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=841221 and updated recently to include the locale: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1619145.

Having talked to the Bedrock team, it sounds like `/firefox/new/` would be a much better URL (the page contains a big and very visible "Download" button).

In addition to that, I think it would make sense to include a query parameter to let Bedrock now that users visit the site because they clicked the "Download" button in the prompt (e.g., `?reason=manual-update`).
