1819473 - Change TCP SUMO URL from `enhanced-tracking-protection-android` to `enhanced-tracking-protection-firefox-android`

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Fenix :: Privacy, task, P2)

Description

[Chris Peterson [:cpeterson]]

The ETP SUMO article URL is https://support.mozilla.org/kb/enhanced-tracking-protection-firefox-android but Fenix's TCP CFR currently points to https://support.mozilla.org/kb/enhanced-tracking-protection-android. (Note the missing firefox-!) The SUMO team worked around this problem by adding a page redirect to the correct URL https://support.mozilla.org/kb/enhanced-tracking-protection-firefox-android.

We should change enhanced-tracking-protection-android to enhanced-tracking-protection-firefox-android here:

https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/firefox-android/blob/a05ece3df1f60e7b10ab4b564b82f47b7ba8d0eb/fenix/app/src/main/java/org/mozilla/fenix/settings/SupportUtils.kt#L45

Then the SUMO team can eventually remove the page redirect they added to work around Fenix using the wrong URL. It would be nice to uplift this fix to 111, but it's not that important.

We discussed these URLs before in https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/fenix/issues/26956 but we closed that bug without updating the URL.

We don't need to uplift this fix because SUMO has a page redirect for the old URL. We can remove the SUMO redirect after this fix ships, but that's not urgent.

Tested on latest Nightly 113.0a1 from 03/27 and although the "enhanced-tracking-protection-firefox-android" string appears in the TCP CFR url, the following issues were observed:

1. The TCP CFR is not displayed on the first website visit:

• when opening a website from the Top Sites/Pocket sections on homepage, the TCP CFR is displayed only on the 5th visit of the website;
• when opening a website from the search bar, the TCP CFR is displayed only on the 2nd search;

2. When opening the SUMO page on the TCP CFR, a "page not found" error page is opened, with the following URL: https://support.mozilla.org/1/mobile/113.0a1/Android/en-US/enhanced-tracking-protection-firefox-android

Devices used:

• Samsung Galaxy A53 5G (Android 13)
• Google Pixel 6 (Android 13)
• OPPO A15s (Android 10)

:Alexandra, should we open a separate ticket for these issues?
