723732 - [Mobile Redirect] nightly.mozilla.org should redirect ...

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

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

Description

[mcbmoz]

James, after Bug 717322 is resolved and nightly is merged into the /firefox site, can you help us put the right redirects into place for two use cases.

A user on a tablet and a smart phone types in nightly.mozilla.org, should ... 

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

#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/nightly

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

We can't do redirection based on screen size. Why not just build out out one responsive page?

1.6 is the earliest, depends on how much work it is to migrate the site.

No resources at this time. We hope to get there in Q2.

Hm. This is actually the solution that Anthony put in place on the site. Currently, we now send tablet-sized screens to the desktop site. Could you ping him. Maybe he did a different implementation?

Please see See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=723723#c3 for more details for updates.

This has been done, but nightly redirect has been commented out until the page exists on the site. Please remind me to uncomment the redirect on the mobile nightly page when that page goes live.
