1282517 - support.m.o has 'ad' to defunct Mozilla Gear site

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1191994

(support.mozilla.org :: General, defect)

Description

[Hal Wine [:hwine] use NI!]

Poor UX - someone gets excited about buying some official gear, only to land on a blog post about the store being shut down. :(

STR:
 1. go to https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/
 2. click the "mozilla" dropdown tab at top
 3. click big purple "Official Mozilla gear is here" on top left

actual: end up on disappointing "we're closed" page:
  https://fundraising.mozilla.org/the-online-gear-store-closes-march-31/?ref=OMG_launch&utm_campaign=OMG_launch&utm_source=gear.mozilla.org&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=tabzilla
  
expected: end up at a place I can spend money for cool stuff

Hi Hal.

Thank you for spotting this. The Mozilla Gear store has been closed and AFAIK there is no official replacement. The whole dropdown is part of Tabzilla, which is deprecated now and going to be replace by new static version (without the store link) as part of bug 1191994.
