852714 - Amazon search URLs should include Mozilla sourceid and tag

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: Awesomescreen, defect, P2)

Description

[Chris Peterson [:cpeterson]]

When I search for "whatever" using desktop Firefox's Amazon Search box, Firefox uses the following amazon.com URL:

    http://www.amazon.com/s?ie=UTF8&tag=mozilla-20&index=blended&link_code=qs&sourceid=Mozilla-search&field-keywords=whatever

If I search for "whatever" using Fennec's AwesomeScreen Amazon search link, we use the following amazon.com URL:

    http://m.amazon.com/gp/aw/s?k=whatever

jnagel says Fennec should be able to use the same "&sourceid=Mozilla-search&tag=mozilla-20" attributes as desktop Firefox.

Add Mozilla's sourceid to Fennec's Amazon search URL, as per email conversation.
