1325881 - Firefox, Thunderbird System Requirements page defects

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(www.mozilla.org :: Release notes, defect)

Description

[Bob Bib [:bobbib]]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:45.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/45.0
Build ID: 20161213204132

Steps to reproduce:

Visit a "System Requirements" page for Firefox or Thunderbird, i. e.:
https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/system-requirements/
https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/organizations/system-requirements/
https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/system-requirements/

Currently, it's redirected to, respectively:
https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/50.1.0/system-requirements/
https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/45.0/system-requirements/
https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/45.5.1/system-requirements/


Actual results:

For both Firefox and Thunderbird, "GNU/Linux" section recommends "HAL 0.5.8 or higher".

Also, on the Thunderbird page, the recommendation list ("For optimal functionality, we recommend the following libraries or packages...") is repeated twice.


Expected results:

HAL should no longer be recommended, because it has been abandoned long ago:
https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/hal/

Also, please remove the mistakenly repeated info on the Thunderbird page.
