Currently Firefox Mobile has its own app for generating feedback. This app performs a series of HTTP requests in order to submit the feedback--it's essentially doing a request to get the feedback form, filling it out, and then doing a POST to submit it. At some point p, we'll build an API to make this less stupid. In the mean time, the existing method needs to continue to work. We need to implement whatever we need to in order to make sure Firefox Mobile works with Fjord as is.
cc:ing Margaret who implemented the Firefox Mobile code. Need to work with her to make sure this gets done right.
For reference the logic is all in here: http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/file/169e0492b03b/mobile/android/chrome/content/aboutFeedback.xhtml#l164 We're actually just doing one POST request to submit the feedback to input.mozilla.org, so it should hopefully be simple to maintain. We get that url from the "app.feedback.postURL" pref, which is here: http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/file/169e0492b03b/mobile/android/app/mobile.js#l445
Grabbing this one.

Margaret: I've got Firefox for Android on a device. Do you know offhand how I can change preference values like the app.feedback.postURL?
about:config works on Firefox for Android, and my instance has that setting.
Oh cool. I thought there was no about:config on Firefox for Android. Well, that makes this a lot easier to do.
I feel totally dumb, but I can't find the feedback form anywhere. I inferred from the code that the feedback form is in the About page, but I don't see it there on stable, beta or aurora. I don't see it in settings, either. Margaret: How do I access the feedback form in Firefox for Android?

Yay! I got everything set up so it's hitting my dev instance now. Thanks!
Landed in https://github.com/mozilla/fjord/commit/950574024316dfb75ececc09ecb37f7df2188a7e Tomorrow I'll double check that this works on input-dev with my tablet. I'll wait until I know it works to mark it FIXED.
