[Notes]:

• The correct URL is displayed in the Address Bar, but it cannot be loaded and redirects to the “https://apps.apple.com/us/app/firefox-focus-privacy-browser/id1055677337” URL.

[Affected versions]:

• Firefox Nightly 105.0a1 (Build ID: 20220731212434)
• Firefox Beta 104.0b4 (Build ID: 20220731190208)
• Firefox Release 103.0 (Build ID: 20220718155818)

[Affected Platforms]:

• macOS 12.3.1
• Windows 10 x64
• Windows 11 x64
• Ubuntu 20.04 x64

[Prerequisites]:

• Have the Firefox browser installed/extracted and opened.

[Steps to reproduce]:

1. Open a new private window. (Ctrl+Shift+P)
2. Click the “Download Firefox Focus” button from the promo section.
3. Click the “Download on the App Store” button from the “Get Firefox Focus” modal.
4. Observe the opened link.

[Expected result]:

• The “Download on the App Store” redirects to the “https://app.adjust.com/167k4ih?campaign=firefox-desktop&adgroup=pb&creative=focus-omc172&redirect=https%3A%2F%2Fapps.apple.com%2Fus%2Fapp%2Ffirefox-focus-privacy-browser%2Fid1055677337” URL.

[Actual result]:

• The “Download on the App Store” redirects to the “https://apps.apple.com/us/app/firefox-focus-privacy-browser/id1055677337” URL.

[Additional Notes]:

• I couldn’t find a regression window since the promo section is not displayed on the browser when it is launched from mozregression.
• Attached is a screen recording of the issue.
