Status: RESOLVED FIXED

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

Description

[Alex Gibson [:agibson]]

As per Bug 1239863, we can now remove the /firefox/partners page from mozilla.org.

Redirect destination still to be decided.

Jen, where should we redirect the /firefox/partners/ page to once removed, /firefox/os/ perhaps?

Comment 2

[Alex Gibson [:agibson]]

We currently have a "Mobile" link in the footer that points to /firefox/partners/

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

Where should we point this to now?

I can remove the "Partners" link in the Family Navigation easily enough.

[Alex Gibson [:agibson]]

Perhaps the best place for the "Mobile" footer link would be this page? https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/mobile-download/

For now I have made the following redirect assumptions:

1.) /firefox/partners/ is redirected to /firefox/os/devices/ page
2.) /mwc/ is redirected to /firefox/os/devices/ page
3.) /b2g/ is redirected to the /firefox/os/ page
4.) /mobile/ and /fennec/ are redirected to the /firefox/mobile-download/ page

(all of these URLs we're previously going to /firefox/partners/

Jen, please let me know if this sounds ok, or if you would like to make any changes here.

Thanks!

Thank you Alex!

All this looks good, except let's change:
/firefox/partners/ is redirected to /firefox/os/devices/ page

to 
/firefox/partners/ is redirected to /firefox/os/

Just to confirm - are we sure we want to start sending general traffic to /firefox/mobile-download/? This page was never intended to be widely publicized - it was built specifically for en-US Heartbeat users. It's not currently localized, though we may have the all the strings translated in other .lang files.

Would a better redirect maybe be /firefox/products/?

It's not that /firefox/mobile-download/ can't work. I'm a big fan of its simplicity. I just want to make sure we aren't digging ourselves a hole by "releasing" a page with a UI and (specifically) a URL that was put together rather hastily for a very specific target audience.

Yes.  Good call jpetto.  Let's use /firefox/products

Hi, 

I've just done a quick test and I've seen that:  

/firefox/os/

is redirected (in my case) to: 

https://www.mozilla.org/es-ES/firefox/os/1.3/

Is this the expected behavior? Should we redirect to 2.5?

Just to double check... 

Thanks!
David

Hi, this bug is not about the /firefox/os/ page.

But yes, that's expected behavior (for now). We are in the process of removing the legacy 1.3 page in a different bug.
