1371334 - In-product link from preferences#privacy fails as a Sumo 404

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: Settings UI, defect)

Description

[John Hesling [:John99] (NeedInfo me)]

In firefox 55 Desktop key in to the location bar about:preferences#privacy
That takes you to the privacy tab of preferences.
There are a few learn more links, one of them in the "Tracking Protection" section.
Click the link it tres to connect with https://support.mozilla.org/1/firefox/55.0a1/Linux/en-US/tracking-protection 

As you can tell I tried that on a Linux machine. I was actually using 64bit Firefox but I imagine other Firefox Desktop builds would have the same problem.

I did not try on a Release or try to find a regression range.
I did however note links from that section were ok in desktop ESR and DE and also in various versions of Firefox Android, including Nightly; however they had a diferent target.

Someone from Firefox will need to confirn the link intended to be used in Firefox and then ensure the linked Sumo Articles are correct and updated. It is probably worth noting Sumo staff are likely rather busy at present, and I am not sure there are any solid decisions yet on whether Sumo will be using Kitsune or Lithium by the time of Fx55 launch.

I will NI Joni the Sumo content manager.

Probably worth noting there is an article in Sumo Kitsune
> https://support.mozilla.org/kb/tracking-protection-pbm
> "Tracking Protection in Private Browsing"
In the currently not used, and broken Lithium there is an article which may be seen from here (No Title, no contributores menu) https://hwsfp35778.lithium.com/t5/Protect-your-privacy/Tracking-Protection-in-Firefox/ta-p/18255
