1430894 - Determine the fate of the Firefox Interest Dashboard page

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

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

Description

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

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1428783 +++

There's a legacy page about Interest Dashboard in Firefox that has been orphaned for a number of years now:

https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/interest-dashboard/

This information is no longer an important part of the Firefox marketing catalog, and I can't even find the addon anymore (The GitHub repo[0] points here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/firefox-interest-dashboard/)

We should decommission this page.

Agree with this assessment, let's remove the page.

As the project seems totally dead, I'm not sure where best to redirect the URL. Looking at the GitHub repo, it seems to be a legacy Add-on using the old SDK so will likely no longer work with current Firefox anyway. I'm going to suggest this URL as perhaps the most appropriate, but am also open to other suggestions:
