Hey Cristian,

Thanks for reporting. I can't reproduce this issue, so a couple of follow up questions:

  1. Is your locale set to Russian?
  2. Does https://www.mozilla.org/?utm_source=firefox-browser&utm_medium=firefox-desktop&utm_campaign=about-dialog direct you to the English site? That is what the link is currently set to
Flags: needinfo?(emalysz) → needinfo?(cristian.fogel)

In searching with mozregression the settings should have been default. Initial checks had the build and settings to EN.

Did a quick check on macOS 11 and with browser.search.region:

  • 86.0 RO --> gives RU page
  • 86.0, 88.0a1 (2021-02-22) en-US --> DE page

The link from 2nd question opens up the expected en-US page.

Flags: needinfo?(cristian.fogel)

It seems like this might be happening after the URL is sent to mozilla.org
