Updating subject.

@Tim
Did you get that link in a specific page, or just tried typing it?

I’m not Tim ;-), but the link is on <http://www.mozilla.org/de/firefox/new/> when accessed with a non-Firefox browser. Click „Was ist neu“ below the download button. The link is <http://www.mozilla.org/de/firefox/notes/> which leads to <http://www.mozilla.org/de/firefox/29.0.1/releasenotes/>, which is 404.

It was reported in a german IRC channel as a link from http://www.mozilla.org/de/firefox/desktop/.

This is also reported in #firefox, #sumo and on reddit http://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/25d8tw/release_notes_404_page_not_found/

Discussion in IRC with jgmize about whether we could make sure that *any* content in the locale area that doesn't match to a localized content would default to the en-US version of the page requested.
