Suppose you want to download Nightly on Android!

STR:
 1. On Android (in Chrome or Firefox), visit https://nightly.mozilla.org

ACTUAL RESULTS:
I get redirected to this page:
https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/channel/desktop/#nightly
...which doesn't have any download buttons for Android. Boo :(  That's because it's the page for nightly on Desktop (notice the /desktop/ in the URL)

EXPECTED RESULTS:
Since I'm on Android, I should be redirected to somewhere where I can download Nightly for Android, like this page (notice /android/ instead of /desktop/ in the URL):
https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/channel/android/#nightly
Note that this used to work nicely -- I think https://nightly.mozilla.org must've been rewritten or re-targeted in the last few months.
Here's what I see when I visit nightly.m.o from my Android device. I wasted a few minutes panning around trying to find the download link. "All languages and builds" looks like it might have some download links, but it's just got Windows/Mac/Linux builds.

To actually find Android builds, you have to scroll way up to the top of the page (~3 screenfulls of content away!!) and click a horizontal bar labeled "ANDROID" (because "DESKTOP" is highlighted by default), and then you have to scroll around among the beta/aurora/release/nightly builds on the resulting page.

This is silly. We should just direct people to the Android download page if they visit nightly.m.o on Android.
kohei, looks like maybe you know about the maintenance of nightly.mozilla.org, based on some bugzilla searching. Do you know who might be the right person to take this?

(I probably filed this in the wrong component, too -- please feel free to reclassify, or let me know if I should refile this at https://github.com/mozilla/nocturnal -- not sure if this redirect is in-scope for that repo&issue-tracker, or if it's more about content.)
Flags: needinfo?(kohei.yoshino)
Yes, that's me. The redirect was set in Bug 1301642 a month ago.

It should probably be nightly.mozilla.org 
-> www.mozilla.org/firefox/channel/#nightly (will file another bug for that)
-> www.mozilla.org/firefox/channel/{desktop|android}/#nightly (based on UA; I can work on it)

Reopening since Bug 1326390 is not solved yet.
Status: RESOLVED → REOPENED

We should do the same for  https://mozilla.org/nightly (and  https://mozilla.org/aurora and  https://mozilla.org/beta are in the same situation.

Kohei, want me to file a separate bug for those?
Filed Bug 1328409 for that. The nightly.mozilla.org redirect is now solved.
