See screenshot. I clicked the "Learn more" link and goes to https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/xr/ which is a 404 Page not found.

Came digging through code and bugs to file this as the link still points to https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/xr/ which is still a 404 today (Windows, 73.0.1)

This would have ideally been changed to a URL on SUMO; however, this has already reached release.

A redirect, like used for the corresponding geolocation prompt, will be added:

It seems that the redirect is now up and the link is no longer dead.

See Bug 1618310 for a follow-up, where the link will be changed to avoid the redirect.
