Jane, do you have any sort of deadline - rough or otherwise - in mind for this?
Just after Fx 4 launch if possible. We're still working on getting the images hosted so, I'm not sure we'll make it for the March 14th deadline - but it will hopefully be close after that. If we can add for the first release after Fx 4 GA that will be super please.
Got it, thanks Jane. I'm temporarily assigning this to Matej...Matej, can you take a look at the copy in comment #0 and see if it needs any polish?

Question for Jane: Are there two thoughts here (share firefox and add cool buttons to spread the word) or three (share, add buttons, spread the word)?

Actually, I'd be open to some new copy from Matej. The original CTA was for the Affiliates program. That program will be turned off soon due to SFX issues. We're creating a new landing page for Fx 4 buttons, but they wont have any of the fancy stuff from the Affiliates program. 

Long way of saying - folks can download Fx buttons and share Firefox with the world.
Ok then...Matej, this one is all yours. Let's say it's due by EOW.
Here are some options for this:

Share Firefox from the comfort of your browser.

Download the buttons and share Firefox, all from the comfort of your browser.

Download the Firefox buttons and spread the better Web.

Download the Firefox buttons and spread the love.

Sharing Firefox is easy. Just download the Firefox buttons and start spreading the word.

Sharing Firefox is easy. Just download the Firefox buttons and start spreading the better Web.

Help make the Web a better place. Download the Firefox buttons and spread the word.
Thanks Matej! Super stuff.

I'm a fan of "Sharing Firefox is easy. Just download the Firefox buttons and start spreading the word."

John if you're happy - I'm happy to run with this.
Sounds great...let's run with it!
awesome - thanks!

Hey Anthony - would be great to tackle this in the 1.5 release, although mobile launch should go first :).
Priority: -- → P2
Target Milestone: 1.5 → 2.0
hey there -- can I just check when this addition will go live please?
I've committed the copy and URL changes to trunk as r87095.

I'm not 100% sure on the current process for pushing changes like this live, so if somebody could explain that, I would be happy to do that myself if appropriate. Or if this should be included in the next targeted release like 2.0 or 2.1.

That process is changing right now, but you should at least add the keyword "qawanted" to the bug when it is done. We'll take it from there (unless QA finds problems, which you need to fix ;) )
Marking resolved, although this still needs to be pushed live.

James or Laura, can this be included in 2.0 or should it be pushed to 2.1?
