[Notes]:

• This issue is not reproducible when using en-US locale and DE region.

[Affected versions]:

• Firefox Nightly 105.0a1 (Build ID: 20220802214455)
• Firefox Beta 104.0b5 (Build ID: 20220802185803)
• Firefox Release 103.0.1 (Build ID: 20220729222726)

[Affected Platforms]:

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

[Prerequisites]:

• Have a DE locale Firefox browser installed/extracted and opened.
• Have the “browser.search.region” pref set to “DE”.

[Steps to reproduce]:

1. Restart the browser from prerequisites and open a new private window. (Ctrl+Shift+P)
2. Click the “Download Firefox Klar” 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 “https://app.adjust.com/a8bxj8j?campaign=firefox-desktop&adgroup=pb&creative=focus-omc172&redirect=https%3A%2F%2Fapps.apple.com%2Fde%2Fapp%2Fklar-by-firefox%2Fid1073435754” URL and the Firefox Klar app is displayed on the page.

[Actual result]:

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

[Additional Notes]:

• This issue is also reproducible when clicking the “GET IT ON Google Play" button. It redirects to the “https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.mozilla.focus&referrer=adjust_reftag%3DcaXHXSa24J49B%26utm_source%3Dproduct-owned%26utm_campaign%3Dfirefox-desktop%26utm_content%3Dpb%26utm_term%3Dfocus-omc172%26utm_medium%3Dreferral” URL and the Firefox Focus app is displayed on the page instead of Firefox Klar.
• Also, sometimes the App store page takes a long time until it is fully loaded.
• Attached is a screen recording of the issue.

This might be expected edge case because of smaller subset of population. Current back-end targeting for Firefox Klar.

Not a known issue. I will investigate.

I followed the reproduction steps. When i click on a link, I do not get the a8bxj8j link shared above. I get the following link:

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&utm_source=activity-stream&utm_campaign=firstrun&utm_medium=referral&utm_term=aboutwelcome-default-screen

That is an adjust link for Firefox focus.

This does not appear to be an adjust issue. It looks like the page is serving the wrong link for DE users.

Bug 1761250 specially added switching the QR code, but seems like we probably just want a separate de locale message to generally configure it more like the DE region message.

Switch from image_overrides custom replacing the QR code for FOCUS message to a separate message for de locale that also configures the links correctly like the KLAR message.

• The “GET IT ON Google Play" button redirects to the “https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.mozilla.klar&referrer=adjust_reftag%3Dc1pJVzmXxiDKY%26utm_source%3Dproduct-owned%26utm_campaign%3Dfirefox-desktop%26utm_content%3Dpb%26utm_term%3Dfocus-omc172%26utm_medium%3Dreferral” link and the Firefox Klar app is displayed on the page.
