Details
Firefox users miss the "Systems & Languages" link under the Firefox Download big button.
Perhaps it would be a good idea to provide more prominent link with descriptive title such as "Get Firefox in other OS's & languages" .

site metrics should be able to tell us how much of an impact the latest redesign might have had on traffic to http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
we would need the date of the last round of changes, and then dig down to see of that has reduced the traffic to the download page.

Ideally, users should not have to use this link in the first place. That means serving them the website in the user's locale and/or linking to the good Firefox version.
Before the migration to Bedrock, all links on the en-US website linked to the user's locale. With Bedrock, en-US website serves links to en-US Firefox.
So I think our long-term fixes are double-down on L10N work on Bedrock.
That said, we might also have a problem with this message not being clear enough to users.

Yeah, but there will always be gaps in browser locale and geo detection, meaning users will have trouble finding the language that might be better suited for them, and an even better fit that the browser locale that they might be using.
Besides, it's a pretty powerful message to know that Firefox is available in 87+ languages.

You're right, that's why I said "ideally". :) Although we don't do geo-detection, we only look at the prefix in the URL and fallback on the Accept-Language header. And Accept-Language is not perfect either.
I was just expressing the fact that we should improve the experience by not having to click on this link most of time.
