Also looking over bug 795588 the bug refers to about: this issue refers to about:rights

Comment 4

I don't know that this bug is actually valid, since that page does link to our privacy policies. This link is to http://www.mozilla.com/legal/privacy/, which is the same URL used on desktop.

The link on mobile is www.mozilla.org/en-US/legal/privacy/ which displays the page from the first screenshot which is a placeholder and does not contain the privacy policy. www.mozilla.org/en-US/legal/privacy/firefox.html(the current link to the privacy policy on beta in about:) or http://www.mozilla.org/%LOCALE%/privacy/ (The page added in bug 795588 to about:) actually contain the text of the privacy policy. 
This bug also seems to affect Desktop. Furthermore it seems that on Desktop(FF21 release) just like on Nightly about:rights does not have the privacy policy linked where it should.

Copying from the attached diff (you can click on the patch to view this):

-  ... href="http://www.mozilla.com/legal/privacy/" ...
+  ... href="https://www.mozilla.org/legal/privacy/firefox.html" ...

The reasoning is that I took the link you posted, and made it https, since we've been moving towards only using https for in-product links.

Thanks, Margaret (and never assume I will have the nerve to click on a patch ;-) - so I appreciate being hand held).

I am just ensuring there is no issue from legal, although suspect there isn't. I will inform back if they scream with a reasonable argument against, although can't imagine they would.

For the record, good to go with https (got a much quicker confirmation than expected). Thanks, Margaret, for looking out for stuff like this.
