1602062 - Redirect to correct link when a user opts out of data collection in about:preferences#privacy

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox :: Settings UI, defect, P1)

Description

[Emma Malysz]

When a user opts out of data collection, a message bar will appear that informs them of this choice. It has a Learn more button that currently redirects to https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/privacy/firefox/#health-report. Determine if this is the desired page, and if not, change this reference.

Hi Emma,
This should link to a SUMO page.
Joni, my understanding is that Alicia has reached out for the link. Could you share the link (but hide it from public view until the feature goes live)?

Hi Emma,
Joni published the link in this bug.

We should ensure we ship with the correct link. Emma, are you taking this?

Comment 4

Yes, except the link in bug 1602044 takes me to "Page not found" that displays in a different language each time. Joni, can you confirm this is the correct link? https://support.mozilla.org/1/firefox/%VERSION%/%OS%/%LOCALE%/telemetry-clientid

The link is of the type meant to be fed through the URL formatter (Services.urlFormatter), which replaces the % variables, leading to something like:

https://support.mozilla.org/1/firefox/71.0/Darwin/en-GB/telemetry-clientid

which does work (redirects to https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/telemetry-clientid?as=u&utm_source=inproduct and shows a "placeholder telemetry" header).

We normally use the app.support.baseURL pref for everything apart from the slug (ie "telemetry-clientid" here), e.g. https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/690e903ef689a4eca335b96bd903580394864a1c/browser/components/preferences/in-content/privacy.js#245-247 .
