318212 - getfirefox.com should go directly to www.mozilla.com/firefox/

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

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

Description

[Reed Loden [:reed]]

Peng in #Firefox on IRC stated that getfirefox.com goes to www.mozilla.com and not www.mozilla.com/firefox/. This should probably be fixed as people that go to getfirefox.com want to go directly to Firefox's page and not Mozilla's homepage.

This was intentional.

Then why does getthunderbird.com go to http://www.mozilla.com/thunderbird/?

See this:
<Peng> ss: It sends you to http://www.mozilla.com/ instead of http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/, and the only way to get to there from it is to click the Firefox and Thunderbird logo to go to http://www.mozilla.org/products/ and then click the Firefox link there, which will redirect you to http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/ .

Is this just temporary or will it stay this way?

[Matt Nordhoff (aka Peng on IRC & forums)]

Ah... I had the old version of Mozilla.com in my cache, where you do have to jump through hoops to get to Firefox. Now you don't. I can live with it, but I still say it should go to http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/ .

This was actually done sometime. :)
