Aaron, are you sure this is only ru/Russian?

Firefox for Android uses http://www.mozilla.com/%LOCALE%/m/privacy.html .

A quick test showed that replacing %LOCALE% with the following strings leads to a 404 too.

en/en-US/EN-US/en-us
de/DE-de/DE-DE/de-de

I didn't find any localized page of the privacy page, so I hardcoded it to en-US.

I don't what the correct URL is that we should use here. Lawrence/Ricky, do you know? (Hopefully you're the right people to ask - I got your names from your comments in the similar bug 702319)

[Ricky Rosario [:rrosario, :r1cky]]

I would know for SUMO but not for mozilla.org. CCing Rik and pmac

Comment 5

[Lawrence Mandel [:lmandel] (use needinfo)]

AFAIK, https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/legal/privacy/firefox.html is the correct link. I'm not aware of a mobile version of this page. Perhaps a useful request to make.

cc Jishnu for comment.

I'll assume this is the correct URL to use since I haven't seen any comments saying otherwise.

Comment 7

[Paul [:pmac] McLanahan]

I looks to me like http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/legal/privacy/ might be the best URL. I'm adding Ben Sternthal as I think he might know more.

[Paul [:pmac] McLanahan]

The link from #c7 is the one that desktop Aurora uses, and claims to be where translations will be posted when they're available.

Comment 9

[Ben (:bensternthal)]

Adding feedback request to Jishnu to get definitive answer. I can speculate here but I'd rather get the correct pages confirmed with legal.

Removing r+ for now until Jishnu can confirm the URL.

Hi there - https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/legal/privacy/firefox.html is the current Fx PP - there's no mobile version - working on this now

Comment 12

[Jishnu Menon :jishnu]

For clarity:

We're likely deprecating http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/legal/privacy/ in favor of http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/privacy/, but, within our products, we should link directly to the product's privacy policy (in this case http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/privacy/).
