Adjusted the code in https://github.com/mozilla/ichnaea/commit/f3c6e39dd9f479c8d90de09c7c7f0c2c75a284f0.

Will be part of the next production deploy. A date hasn't been scheduled for that yet.

Thanks for the reply Hanno. Is there any way to make a quick change to this before the next refresh? We will be routing potential contributors here from some other pages and would like a good experience for them :)

I'm not sure I understand. Do you want to do a quick change to the link I'm using?

Unfortunately the web content of MLS is not separate from the rest of the app code, so doing any change to it needs a full service deploy. So the turnaround time for those is more in the weekly range.

Did not know it was such an extensive process. Simply, the pathway (which is the hypertext link) for people to download Nightly Android sends people to regular Firefox Android. I'd like to better support potential MLS contributors by not making them get 'lost' there. As it's a mere change of a hypertext link, it seemed really easy to me.

The changed link was deployed just now.
