User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.16; rv:83.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/83.0

Steps to reproduce:

I created a new Mozilla account to backup data such history log in and other information and once I was sent a verification code and to connect a new device all links were being redirected to apple.

Actual results:

When you are opening an account on firefox and get directed to the link of signing a new Device https://accounts.firefox.com/connect_another_device?context=fx_desktop where you select iPhone or android all the link are redirected to IOS and not the google play store.

Expected results:

One of google should have been redirected to google play store link, not the apple on

to this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.mozilla.firefox
not this: https://apps.apple.com/app/id989804926?mt=8

That's interesting, looks like Adjust is assuming that because you're on MacOS you'll want to hit up the Apple Store.

:vbudhram - Do you know if there's a way to change this Adjust behaviour?

I thought it was the problem of hyperlinks! unless may be I try on my windows and see! but it should have redirected me to google playstore!

Hey Jon,

I am not aware of a way to change this behavior in Adjust. Technically the links are the same on both buttons except for a few ad groups used for metrics. Adjust does support a fallback url[1] but that is only if the specific app isn't available in the app store.

This might be a good issue for the UX team to take another look at.

Thanks everyone. Since this is a bug/feature of adjust.com I'm going to close this issue.
