646491 - FF4 Download size is advertised differently than reality

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 645457

(www.mozilla.org :: General, defect)

Description

[Corey Shields [:cshields]]

As reported on my fb wall:

Stupid question, why does getfirefox.com tell me the Windows download is 8MB when Firefox tells me it's downloading 12MB?

Stephen points out:
Looks like it has to be updated manually: http://viewvc.svn.mozilla.org/vc/libs/product-details/json/firefox_primary_builds.json?view=markup

The file size is visible when you disable js, as shown in http://www.flickr.com/photos/innismir/5574549852/

So, it seems we need to update the file size in the json.

I went ahead and checked Mac and Linux file sizes as well. They are also incorrect Linux is really 13.2MB and Mac is 26.8MB.

also displayed incorrectly on the whatsnew page that points users to firefox 4 (polling from that same json I'm sure).

Hey Anthony - I know you've done some button work lately; can you take a look at this? We want to make sure the correct information is showing consistently across download buttons.

Anthony, you'll notice that we're only showing the download size in the non-JS version of the button.
