1372331 - Change 2 hrefs on universal nav

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

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

Description

[Justin Crawford [:hoosteeno] [:jcrawford]]

We are debugging an SEO issue that is likely a result of all the dramatic change in our content and navigation over the past few months. We need to strengthen internal links.

The universal nav landed before the new /firefox/ home page. It includes two links to "Firefox" whose default behavior is preempted by javascript. These links open universal navigation widgets.

The two links are specifically...

1. The "Firefox" link in top global nav, i.e. $('.nav-primary-links > li:nth-child(1) > a:nth-child(1)')
2. The "Firefox" link in the global nav slideout, i.e. $('h3.selected > a:nth-child(1)')

Search engines don't pay attention to the javascript behavior of these links. They see the hrefs. We need these links to point to www.mozilla.org/firefox/, rather than /new/.
