725322 - [MWC] Create mozilla.org/mobileMWC link redirect

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

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

Description

[Jaclyn Fu]

Hi,

For Mobile World Congress, we will need to create a mozilla.org/firefox link that redirects to the Android Market.  However, the destination of this link needs to be flexible so that we can change it last minute if needed.

REQUESTED URL: www.mozilla.org/mobileMWC
TENTATIVE DESTINATION: https://market.android.com/details?id=org.mozilla.firefox

We will need this as soon as possible. Thank you!

Not IT (for mozilla.org)

Just to be clear, this isn't a mozilla.org/firefox redirect is it?

From Jaclyn's comment, it's for mozilla.org/mobilemwc

Hi John,

This would be to create a Mozilla.org link (but /mobile isn't part of /firefox technically, so I will change the bug title)

Note: This is a P1 and we need this link in place ASAP for MWC

Jaclyn,

Reducing to normal, so IT doesn't get paged.

Can you clarify:

Date this redirect should go live:
Final destination (looks like the android store)

also, are you sure you don't want to use a simpler redirect like mozilla.org/MWC since seo isn't going be an option to enhance discoverability.

Thanks Chrissie,

Redirect should go live in the next day or so
Final destination: https://market.android.com/details?id=org.mozilla.firefox (but we should be able to change the destination later in case we do need to change) 

mozilla.org/mwc might be misleading since the page visitors will be directed to only has mobile, not all our other products at mwc

Steven - assigning to you, is it possible to do this outside of the release by Friday this week since it's over on mozilla.org?

vanity URL @ mozilla.org/mobilemwc

redirecting to: https://market.android.com/details?id=org.mozilla.firefox
