In bug 1393243 we are decommissioning the content at https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/desktop/customize/. This URL is among the default bookmarks the browser ships with. We will redirect visitors to that URL to the content we've selected to replace it (https://support.mozilla.org/kb/customize-firefox-controls-buttons-and-toolbars), but we should change that bookmark to keep things tidy. Code is here: https://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/browser/locales/generic/profile/bookmarks.html.in#37 Question: * Would it be appropriate to include UTM parameters on these links to help attribute traffic coming from default bookmarks? If so I can provide.

Hi, I'm new to Bugzilla and would like to work on this bug.
Did you already go through https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Developer_guide/Introduction and do you have a local build (even an artifact build will be fine) working?

OK, you can look for bookmarks.html.in, there is a link https://www.mozilla.org/@AB_CD@/firefox/customize/ that should be changed to https://support.mozilla.org/@AB_CD@/kb/customize-firefox-controls-buttons-and-toolbars then you can rebuild the browser, run it on a new profile and check the link in the Firefox folder in the bookmarks menu, it should point to the new url.
Since we're talking about implementation, I'd like to return to the question from comment 0: > Question: Would it be appropriate to include UTM parameters on these links to help attribute traffic coming from default bookmarks? If so I can provide. We have many links in the browser product with UTM parameters[0], and default bookmarks in android include such parameters[1]. :julikatd (or whoever implements), if nobody follows up with a reason not to include such parameters, would you please use the following URL for the default bookmark? The link text itself can remain unchanged. https://support.mozilla.org/kb/customize-firefox-controls-buttons-and-toolbars?utm_source=firefox-browser&utm_medium=default-bookmarks&utm_campaign=customize --- [0] https://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/search?q=utm_source [1] https://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/search?q=utm_source+bookmarkdefault&redirect=false

I don't have anything against that, but I don't use that info, so I don't even have anything in favor of it. It should cost us anything to add them.

Hi, I have a question about testing this. When I rebuild in mozilla-central, then run './mach run -P' and create a new profile, I get the Nightly related default links. What step am I missing to display the other default links?

The easiest way I found recently was to temporarily change the ifndef NIGHTLY_BUILD to ifdef NIGHTLY_BUILD, and then rebuild.
Here's a patch to fix this bug. It's my first attempt at contributing to Mozilla :)

Info for Sheriffs: this is a simple url change in an html file tested locally, a try server build shouldn't be necessary.
