Attachment: /whatsnew Mobile State - April 29th

In bug 1136934 we are building a /whatsnew landing page which has a state specifically designed to request a number/email from the user, and send that user a link.

This request is to build a landing page outside of whatsnew which can be targeted by tiles, social, etc. It will be a clone of the whatsnew page.

For some clarification:

Does this page need to include the video, or are we just showing the mobile form here?
What should the URL be?

This does add more to development time, since the whatsnew page design is only built/tested in Firefox browsers. This page would cross browser support.

Let's call this the mobile download page rather than a clone of 38.0.5 whatsnew?

This page would need cross browser support.

It should live at /firefox/mobile.

Thanks Cory and Alex!

Ok thanks - if no video is needed here that certainly makes cross browser support more simple.

Comment 4

[Fabio Rios [:frios]]

Thanks all. Correct, no video. The purpose of the page is strictly to allow users to get Firefox for iOS and Android. Users arriving on his page wiil already have context.

I've started standing up a placeholder page here:

https://www-demo2.allizom.org/en-US/firefox/mobile/

Note: currently /firefox/mobile/ redirects to /firefox/android.

We need to keep this page behind the `ios-active` waffle flag. It looks like this redirect is in bedrock as opposed to apache:

https://github.com/mozilla/bedrock/blob/master/bedrock/redirects/urls.py#L72

We may be able to waffle the redirect somehow, I'm not too sure. Will speak to either pmac or jgmize about the best way to handle this.

CC'ing flod, so he's aware of what's being asked for here.

Comment 7

[Alex Gibson [:agibson]]

Chatted briefly to pmac on IRC and doing a waffle flag on the redirect should be do-able he thinks.

Also noted:

"<pmac> agibson: sure. any time. also we should probably make sure /firefox/mobile/ is sending 302s and not 301s so that visitors don’t get a permanent redirect cached."

Closing this for now. Once we have a new date for iOS we will reopen.
