Thanks for the report drashtipandya37. The "problem" why no downloadpage is ranking for this search term is, that we actually do not have a /gu/firefox/new/ download page and the /firefox/all/ page is noindex. So we do not offer Google any landingpage, I am pretty sure, www would rank, if there would be. 

Alex proposed already, that we should have /locale/, /firefox/ and /firefox/new/ for all versions of firefox available. That would solve this problem. 

If not, we need to think about indexing /all/. But if I remember this right, there have been good reasons to deindex it, right Justin?

You are right, thank you. Then I have to do research, why this is not showing up.

drashtipandya37: From which country on which exact google-domain did you search and have you been logged in? If you have been logged in, what are your Google-Account search language settings? What is the system language of your PC?

For what it's worth, I can replicate on google.it in private mode (so, not logged in, getting Italian), and google.com with English language set. Both from Italy.

I'm logging in from India, Google.in domain. I've been logged in from my Google account. My Google-Account search language is English and system language is also English.

Has there anything been done to this? I wonder whether this is an isolated case. We met the Drashti at all hands and she reminded me that this is still outstanding.

Yes, a lot happened in the meantime, but still not with succes. We updated /all/ and indexed it, so its currently ranking for the search term "Download Firefox in Gujarati" on No. 7 and once the translation of /all/ to all locales is finished and we are able to merge nighly/all/, beta/all/ and these pages to one /all/ page per locale I think /gu/firefox/all/ has high chances to rank in the top 3 for this.
