When the Firefox stub installer fails, it directs users to a URL like this one: https://www.mozilla.org/ja/firefox/installer-help/?channel=nightly&installer_lang=ja

This page seems to unconditionally offer users the 32-bit Firefox installer, which doesn't seem like the correct thing to do.

I don't know if a change also needs to be made to the stub installer to pass more than just the channel and language to this page. If so, please file a new bug in the Firefox::Installer component and needinfo me. Thank you!

Just found Bug 1621749 with some existing discussion around this, which it looks like is exactly what I was asking about in my previous comment.

Depends on: 1621749

Looks like we're still waiting on that update to stub installer.

I'll see if I can get that prioritized.

I'm moving the needinfo from Bug 1842772 Comment 7 to this bug

(In reply to Ryan VanderMeulen [:RyanVM] from comment #7)

I'm not sure if this is related to the recent bouncer work we've been doing or something else entirely, but can you please help find someone to investigate, Johan?

Hey there! 👋 From what I see in bug 1842772 and this current bug, I don't think Bouncer enters the equation. For reference, Bouncer is the server[1] behind download.mozilla.org. Feel free to needinfo me again if there's something I missed 🙂
