We recently implemented product urls in Input (https://input.mozilla.org/). It behooves us all greatly if Firefox Desktop switched to using a product url in the menu. Right now we're inferring all this from the User-Agent and HTTP headers which is mostly accurate, but has some issues.

The product url to switch it to would be this:

https://input.mozilla.org/%LOCALE%/feedback/%PRODUCT%/%VERSION%/
This probably involves the following:

1. Creating a pref like we have for SUMO:

http://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/browser/app/profile/firefox.js#954


2. Changing openFeedbackPage to use that pref url rather than the hard-coded one:

http://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/browser/base/content/utilityOverlay.js#560

I naively suspect you could reuse the SUMO code here:

http://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/browser/base/content/utilityOverlay.js#653
Summary: switch Help -> Feedback url to use a product url → switch Help -> Submit feedback to use a product url

Sounds about right to me. Want to work this out into a patch? :-)

I talked with :willkg a bit on irc. I'm going to work on this. Sounds like a good bug to get my feet wet with hacking on Firefox.

Awesome. Thanks mythmon!
This is the first time I've touch mozilla-central, so let me know if I screwed anything up.

Thanks Ryan, and thanks for letting my know the right way to do this next time. At this point, is there anything else I need to do? I'm not sure what the fx-team branch is. Is that just a precursor to actually being merged into mozilla-central?

Should this bug be marked as fixed now, or is there something else that needs to happen first?
