699464 - Use red panda graphic when user sends a Facebook message

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Websites :: Other, defect)

Description

[William Reynolds [:williamr]]

The image shown a user clicks the 'Send' button to create a Facebook message to friends should be related to the red panda cubs.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Click on 'Send' button in the 'Share the cute' section.

Actual:
A thumbnail of our Firefox Facebook page is shown. 

Expected:
A graphic showing a red panda should be displayed.

We have a couple options for what graphic to display. We can use the illustration that we use for the snippet, or we could use an actual photo from our gallery from last year.

John, which graphic do you recommend we use? I think an actual photo would lead to more conversations and people coming to the site than the illustration.

Steven, can you let us know the maximum dimensions the graphic thumbnail can be?

For specifying the image to be used by Facebook, it seems that we can provide an image parameter when we generate the 'Send' button. Something similar to this: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/dialogs/send/

Attachment: Current thumbnail shown in Send dialog

Here's the graphic that's currently being shown.

After a quick chat with Christie, it seems we can use an og tag to specify the image we want to appear there.

Talked with John and we'd like to use this image.

Steven, please scale it down and crop as appropriate. Thanks!

This was added over in Bug 699483. As noted there, the image URL is absolute (mozilla.org/img/...), so it won't appear until we're in production.
