Please redirect http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/central/ to https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/get-started-firefox-overview-main-features as part of the April 29, 2014 Australis push Michael and Ibai - could you please: 1. add the not-so-new content person to this bug 2. confirm this page will be updated for Australis
Joni has been added. From what I can see, the article is ready...just needs review. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/get-started-firefox-overview-main-features/revision/55794
Hi Gareth- Could you please make a note in Google Analytics when this redirect is in place? Thx, Jen

Will do Jen. Did we want to re-direct any non-Fx traffic to /new or the new Fx desktop page? Approx 7% of traffic to this page is non-Fx.

Hi Jen, Yes, we will update this article for Australis (the edits are already pending review). Michael and I just need go over the edits to make sure they match the First Run tour.

Let's also only send the Firefox traffic to SUMO. Let's redirect the 1% of traffic to this page from non-Fx browsers to /firefox/new.
Actually, 10% of traffic. Sorry - my math is bad late on Friday afternoons.
Cmore and Pascal - Verdi and Kadir looked at the in-product link, and apparently it points to /central for en-us and to the firefox features page for all other pages. Could you please check and confirm? Does this mean we should try to change the in-product book mark instead of handling this as a web redirect? Thx, Jen

Could you please check and confirm? It points to central for all locales, the server redirected to /features for the top locales because when the new /central page (now obsolete in English) was designed, there were constraints making it not localizable, so features was a better alternative than the page we had before the tour. > > Does this mean we should try to change the in-product book mark instead of > handling this as a web redirect? no, this is already redirected for locales on the server, I am asking that if you redirect en-US/central to a sumo page with more up to date content, we do that for all locales. Which will allow: - to have that content localized on Sumo (already the case for many locales) - to decommission all the old central pages still on the php site for locales - to be consistent with en-US behaviour Cheers

Why 10%? Why not all fx traffic to sumo and everyone else to /firefox/new? That may be what you meant. As pascal said, we will just redirect to the non-locale version and let SUMO redirect: https://support.mozilla.org/kb/get-started-firefox-overview-main-features

Chris, the 10% is the amount they represent. "Let's redirect the traffic to this page from non-FX browsers to /firefox/new. They are 10% of the total traffic to /central". That may be a better phrasing.

Hmm, I just noticed :jmize assigned himself. Are you already working on this?
I was, but I have no complaints about you beating me to it, :kohei -- I'll start reviewing your PR instead. :)
Thank you and sorry about that!
