569132 - Firefox Sync home page does not link to mobile Firefox add-on

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Cloud Services :: Web Site - Deprecated, defect)

Description

[Matt Brubeck (:mbrubeck)]

The download button on https://mozillalabs.com/sync/ links to the non-mobile Firefox Sync add-on:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/10868/

For mobile Firefox (Fennec) users, we need to link to the mobile version:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/mobile/addon/10868/

Probably AMO should redirect Fennec users automatically, but until that happens we should have this link change (or go through a redirector that changes) by looking for "Fennec" in the useragent.

Is there an AMO bug on this?  This should Just Work, rather than require rewriting links on any site linking to a cross-app addon...

I couldn't find an existing bug, so I filed bug 569168.

This is no longer needed since Sync is built in to the latest version of mobile Firefox.  (Mobile Firefox 1.1 still needs the add-on, but we are no longer promoting 1.1 and it is a small and shrinking minority of our users.  We have in-product links for 1.1 users to find the add-on.)
