Details

Currently links in Firefox source are in the the form "https://www.mozilla.org/%LOCALE%/.... When inquiring with the bedrock and l10n there was no definitive answer why this was the case and why it remains, aside from download landing pages which leverage the url locale (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1710891) and direct download links.

This leads to issues when mozilla.org locales lag behind those in Firefox, see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1710891. This is just me speculating but it may also cause issue with language packs later.

Our current guess is that this predates accept-languages header support on mozilla.org, and in most instances is vestigial.
