963872 - accounts.firefox.com should show TOS/Privacy Notice, not FxA "Create an account" screen

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Cloud Services :: Server: Firefox Accounts, defect)

Description

[Richard Newman [:rnewman]]

---
For both the ToS and PN, please use: https://accounts.firefox.com for now. I'm copying and pasting Mark Mayo's comment on this in a separate discussion on the URL for where's my fox in Bug 951798 (comment 11).

"Web flows for users accessing Accounts will use https://accounts.firefox.com. Our unified ToS and privacy statement will likely live there as well, at least for now.

While we have the larger branding discussions about what, if anything, we call the set of Firefox online services (aka "cloud") I'd suggest the primary thing to decide right now is what we're calling this particular feature. I feel pretty strongly that the web component should live *somewhere* under firefox.com, but where exactly (a subdomain or a /xxx) we can decide later."

This is a really shitty user experience right now on Android. You click the "Privacy Notice" link during setup, and you end up on a _web version of the same page_.

I imagine the resolution for this bug is "mmayo did not mean 'use a.f.com/ as the PP link', he meant 'the PP should be on the same domain as a.f.com', so use a different link". Please advise ASAP -- we're aiming to land strings *tonight or tomorrow*.

Different link works.  Better user experience is desired.

So what link shall we use?  rnewman, you want to just invent one?

Let's go with "https://accounts.firefox.com/terms" if mmayo doesn't overrule me by EOD.

Comment 4

[Mark Mayo [:mmayo]]

I propose:

/legal/terms
/legal/privacy

I don't really care, though. Would also be fine with /terms.html and /privacy.html, but I would prefer a prefeix like /legal/ in case we need to do some server-side logic for serving these pages up.  :)
