Exact wording to come from Fabio after Legal approval.

Can we update the Feed powering the 7 row layout to replace "How it works" with "new text here" ? (NI'ing Fabio for final text when ready)

What's the level of effort and how do we need to time this with Sept 3 launch?

The URL should read:

What's Pocket?

Flags: needinfo?(frios)

Moving this work to 70. Working to confirm that:

The current “how it works” is linked to https://getpocket.com/firefox/new_tab_learn_more

and once clicked, it reroutes to https://help.getpocket.com/article/1142-firefox-new-tab-recommendations-faq

and Marketing can update <either of those links?> with the updated messaging without a code change to Firefox.

Mathijs, can you confirm what URL is linked to in the hard-coded layout feed?

Summary: Update "How it works" line in New Tab feed for Fx69 (Sept 3) → Update "How it works" line in New Tab feed for Fx70 (Oct 22)

Update:

https://getpocket.com/firefox/new_tab_learn_more is hardcoded in the layout in 70. We can control where that redirects to from the Web repo on the Pocket side (no Firefox code changes needed).

No URL or text changes to be made to the hardcoded code in Firefox. Any changes needed can be considered for 70 (with uplift), or 71.

Removing priority here so that we bring it up in Triage Monday.

Priority: P2 → --
Summary: Update "How it works" line in New Tab feed for Fx70 (Oct 22) → Update "How it works" line in New Tab

Need to get info on what's involved in the string changes within Firefox (and deadlines).
