1146175 - "Download Firefox" has no locale prefix, so you get Firefox in your browser's language, not in what the link is.

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(www.mozilla.org :: Pages & Content, defect)

1. Start a non-English Firefox.
2. Open https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/
3. Hover over "Download Firefox"
-> Everything is in US English.
4. Click it.
-> You go to a page in the (preferred?) language of your Firefox, and download Firefox in that language, not en-US.  There is no warning or hint of that except that the page is in that language.

Also, where most versions of the main page say "Systems and languages", Russian and Esperanto versions still say "Other systems and languages".

I probably understand what you mean, and it may be a bug. Will fix it after Bug 1129624.

We have discussed this in a meeting today. Looks like the current behaviour is intentional; the pages are not available in the all languages Firefox supports, and we'd like visitors to download Firefox in their own language rather than the page's language. That might be a better experience for the most of them.

So I'd mark this bug WONTFIX. Thanks for your report anyways!
