Attachment: email optin on check plugin page

I noticed that the U.S. version of the Check Your Plugins page doesn’t have an email opt-in.  This would be a great place to add an option to sign up. 

Ideally, I’d love to place an optin underneath “Need Help”.   At a minimum, would it be possible to add our standard footer?  

If we can go beneath Need Help, we can tailor our copy to highlight the fact that we have plugin information in our newsletter.  See suggested copy below and screen shot of page I’m referring to with a quick sketch.

COPY:

Thanks,

Laura, should we make this a website bug? Seems like it's straightforward enough we could skip straight to silverorange and hopefully get it into 1.3 (although that release is getting pretty crowded).

Comment 2

[Laura Forrest]

Yes - I think that's fine. Moving to 1.3 website bug. 

John - Can you take a look at the proposed copy and finalize it?

Comment 3

[John Slater]

Here's my suggested copy:

Get Mozilla News
* Find out what's happening with Firefox, including the latest plugin info. _Subscribe to the monthly newsletter_.

In terms of functionality, I assume this link would take you to the main email signup page? (vs having the sign-up take place directly on this page, that is) If that's not correct, we may want to set this up a little differently.

Copy looks great.  Thanks.

If it's possible, I'd prefer an implementation that's similar to the newest versions you rolled out that allows the visitor to opt-in on the page vs. taking them to another URL.  That's been so successful on the other pages, I'd like to use that optin method whenever possible.

Awesome!  Looks great.  Responsys integration looks good too.  Did a test and I was added.

Comment 8

[Winston Bowden]

Also - quick note - if we localize this page, for the time being, the newsletter opt-in should NOT be included in the localizations.

Cool! Marking qawanted, but not closing until I talk to Pascal to see how to communicate the requirement in comment 8.

James can you change the button color? I think a lot of users might miss it

What browser was that in? I have a more styled button, so that must be in an older browser.

Please open a new bug if this is important, as it's completely unrelated to this bug.

I suspect that's just part of the "check plugin" process, if it throws a 404 it's an unknown plugin or something. Someone who is remotely familiar to the check plugin functionality should be on the one to fix it.
