723725 - [Mobile Redirect] beta.mozilla.org should redirect ...

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(www.mozilla.org :: General, defect)

Description

[mcbmoz]

James, can you help us put the right redirects into place for two use cases.

Currently, a user on an Android tablet and a smart phone types in beta.mozilla.org, she is taken to the following desktop page:

http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/channel/

This needs to be changed to better suit the user:

#1 - Tablet users (more than 500 pixels wide) bypass the /m site and should be directed to http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/mobile/beta

#2 - Smartphone users (less than 500 pixels wide) should be directed to a newly launched page at http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/m/firefox/beta

Thanks, can this go into the 1.5 or 1.6 release?

QA should just test /firefox/beta. beta.mozilla.org redirects to there.
