Make existing redirects from www.mozilla.com to www.mozilla.org 301s

[pmac]

@rraue has brought to our attention that Google (and possibly others) are still indexing URLs at www.mozilla.com even though they are all redirects. The theory is that the redirects that are indexed are 302 (temporary) instead of 301 (permanent) responses. We'd like to convert all 302 redirects from www.mozilla.com (and possibly also mozilla.com apex domain) to 301s.

@rraue please add any supporting info you think is relevant.

Did you already change anything? I crawled all urls Google still has in its index and pinged all of them for status and now all urls are 301, that was not the case yesterday.

Here is the list of urls I see still being indexed: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1CBz4czunUE1P-PTvCbcZ5n-YF4aqNCPVqacmv-gCgYA/edit?usp=sharing

We can see if @sidler-mozilla can get us the current config for the redirector to see if maybe the 302s are only in certain cases with certain request headers. I haven't tested all of the URLs in your doc, but I can if you'd like another test.

If this is still an issue, please help me identify the source of the issue with a PR please. prod-refractr.yml has all of the redirects. If status is not specified, it defaults to 301. /cc @pmac @rraue

https://github.com/mozilla-it/refractr/blob/main/prod-refractr.yml#L326-L366 could this be the source of those 302s?

@pmac Meanwhile, https://www.mozilla.com/ seems to redirect with a HTTP 301 to https://www.mozilla.org/firefox, so I guess this can be closed?
