A couple things I happened to notice:
- I think the Firefox 3 versioning scheme is 3.0.0, not 3.0.0.0
- The title of the page says "This is not really Firefox 3 Beta 2"
- "Start" probably shouldn't be capitalized in the intro paragraph.

Most definitely correct! 3.0.0 all the way. :)

What fligtar and reed said, above, plus:

The page validates at XHTML 1.0 Strict, which is good.

However,

1) "Visit Getting Started" link should point to https://www-firefox3.stage.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/central/

2) "Visit Support" should probably point to http://support.mozilla.com

(If I'm wrong, Reed will correct me!) :-P

Steven: looks good; if you mark this FIXED, I'll verify.

John: the links aren't changing here, right?  We're still linking to /central?

Comment 6

[John Slater]

The content/intent of the Getting Started page is changing quite a bit, but I don't see any reason to change the link. In general, I'd like to avoid changing links from the "old" site as much as possible.

Comment 7

[Stephen Donner [:stephend] Not actively reading bugmail]

Ditto on that (comment 6); verified FIXED.

Comment 9

[Pascal Chevrel:pascalc]

<h2>Welcome to Firefox3</h2>

nitpick, there should be a space between Firefox and 3

Fixed in r11128. Thanks.

Comment 11

[John Slater]

I'm reopening this bug b/c there have been some changes to this page as a result of Rolnitzky's partner program (bug 427649). 

Basically we've added a third promo paragraph at the bottom of the page - the default version talks about add-ons in general, but there are also seven alternate versions that promote specific add-ons. Those will only be visible if you downloaded Firefox 3 from a direct referral by that add-on.

Anyway, this page needs a final round of QA...thanks!

[1] Any way we can get the logos to not jump on page reload?  (I guess they won't when bug 427651 is fixed, since that should only show a single promo image/paragraph.)
[2] Page renders fine with JavaScript disabled, but doesn't have the promo content--this is the first run page, and it's not expected with default configs that JS is disabled, but perhaps upgrading users might have it, in which case not sure we care (or do we?)

Can't yet verify the intended functionality due to the above-mentioned bug 427651.

Comment 13

[David Rolnitzky]

Sounds like we are in a holding pattern until the cookie functionality is setup -- is that right?

In terms of #2 -- do we have any idea what proportion of users disable JS?  I have to believe it's very small.

Probably close to infinitesimal--I just wanted to be sure I tested that case, but I don't expect it'll be very common at all, especially not on the First Run page...

[Steven Garrity [:sgarrity]]

The new behaviour is all setup now. This can be QA'ed.

How do I QA the second paragraph of comment 11?  Where are those entry points?

Verified that over in something like four other bugs last week and early this week.

John, please mark this fixed?

Thx -- verified fixed.
