824314 - "Other Applications: Mobile" link in top nav should link to /android instead of /mobile

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(addons.mozilla.org Graveyard :: Public Pages, defect)

Description

[Matt Brubeck (:mbrubeck)]

Under "Other Applications" in the main navigation at the top of every AMO page, the "Mobile" link goes to: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/mobile/

This is the page for the obsolete XUL Fennec browser.  This link should be removed, and replaced with a "Firefox for Android" link that goes to: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/android/

Matt, we should probably also change the link on mozilla.org: http://cl.ly/image/1o083R0I3F3b

Yes, we should.  Filed bug 825048 for that change.

AMO could even redirect a.m.o/mobile to a.m.o/android (for the landing page only; not for individual add-on pages) to handle all the links that we don't control.  The pages in /mobile are really only useful for historical research these days; average Firefox users are far more likely to be confused than helped if they end up there.  Is redirecting a good idea?

Other applications now links to "Firefox for Android" and loads https://addons-dev.allizom.org/en-US/android/
