Improve Paths to Mobile Support
Creating clear and intuitive paths to mobile support is an important part of making Android a top tier platform on SUMO. The web pages in this section should be updated to provide the best experience for Android users who need support.
Mozilla.com
The Mobile Release Notes should take users to http://support.mozilla.com/mobile page rather than directly to the forum page at https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions?tagged=mobile.
The Mobile release notes FAQ section should include a pointer to http://support.mozilla.com/mobile.
The Mobile platforms page should be fixed to correctly point to support.mozilla.com/mobile. A redesign of http://support.mozilla.com/kb/will-firefox-work-on-my-device page should also be considered for scalability.
The Get Involved web page for mobile at http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/mobile/getinvolved/ should include SUMO information.
The Mobile FAQ should include an Additional Resources section with SUMO links and refer to SUMO for help with using Firefox Mobile.
The Website section of the Firefox Mobile Facebook page http://www.facebook.com/firefoxformobile?sk=info should be updated to include a link to http://support.mozilla.com/mobile.
In-product Pages
The about:home page for mobile should be updated to include an icon for Help and track 563661 about:support page development for mobile.
