Status: VERIFIED FIXED

Description

[Mark Banner (:standard8)]

As requested in bug 1121267 can we redirect from https://hello.firefox.com/ to https://www.firefox.com/hello ?

Are we able to do that via the nginx setup, and not break the existing in-use urls of the forms:

http://hello.firefox.com/<token>
http://hello.firefox.com/c/<token>
http://hello.firefox.com/legal/terms/ (redirect)

Yes, please! I can check analytics to see how many people are hitting the homepage.

Let's skip another redirect and redirect *only* the homepage of hello.firefox.com to https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/hello/ specifically without the locale in the URL.

http(s)://hello.firefox.com

now redirects to:

https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/hello/

When will this be live? Currently, hello.firefox.com doesn't redirect and just says "Welcome to the Firefox Hello web client.".

We had an issue with the loop-client deployment last week and backed out on it. We expect the next deployment attempt to be Monday/Tuesday.

This will be put back in place when we deploy to production tomorrow (Tues.)
