Description

[John Slater]

Hi all. We'll be breaking the Firefox 3.5 download page into 4 versions:

1. Firefox 3.5+ users /en-US/firefox/personal.html
2. Firefox 3 and less /en-US/firefox/upgrade.html
3. IE users /en-US/firefox/ie.html
4. Anyone else /en-US/firefox/firefox.html

This is the page for version #3: IE users. Will file the other bugs soon.

Thanks!

[1] "Sunspider" in the graphic (https://www-trunk.stage.mozilla.com/en-US/img/tignish/firefox/feature-bg-performance.png) should read "SunSpider"
[2] Ditto for "* Based on the results of a Sunspider test of JavaScript performance on a Windows XP machine"
[3] When will we be seeing https://www-trunk.stage.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/performance/?
[4] Screenshots need updating

More later (from either me or Krupa)...

Just curious: why are you calling this the download page?

Good catch. I should have mentioned that this graphic needs to be updated anyway b/c the performance #s aren't final. That could be awhile, though, as we might need to wait until RC1 to know for sure.

Next week is most likely. We're still finalizing that content with Blizzard & crew.

> [4] Screenshots need updating
Good catch. I should note that Alex Faaborg has volunteered to update any necessary screenshots on the site (mainly on the download pages and features page). But, he needs to wait until RC1 to do so, so we'll have to let that slide for now.

Isn't that what we always call it? As in, "this is the page where you download Firefox". Tell me if that's confusing and I'll be less colloquial.

Might just be a me thing; I've always just thought the "download page" was download.html -- bug 479462 and bug 475104.  Since all 4 URLs in comment 0 are unique, I tend to call them by their own names -- not trying to be nit picky; just how I refer to them :-)

Fair enough! Sorry about any confusion.

Steven, a few more tweaks on this one when you have a sec:

1. Need to update the right nav (in the entire Firefox section, really) with two extra links. Here's the new order:
Features
Performance
Security
Customization
100% Organic Software
Tips & Tricks
Videos
Release Notes
Other Systems and Languages
Fastest Firefox

2. Typo in the Firefox vs Safari chart...currently one of the items reads "Thousands of free ways to personalize your online experienceSuperior speed, stability and performance" but it should just be "Thousands of free ways to personalize your online experience"

3. In the little blurb about switching, can you move "Learn More" up so it comes right after "...bookmarks." rather than being on it's own line?

4. Change "What's So Great About Firefox?" mini-header to "Faster, Safer, Smarter, Better"

Thanks!
