Google search link fix 1.4.5 has been reviewed by AMO two days ago. However, automatic update fails with an error message - I've seen it myself, same issue has been reported by a user as well. If I open the update manifest under https://versioncheck.addons.mozilla.org/update/VersionCheck.php?reqVersion=2&id=jid0-XWJxt5VvCXkKzQK99PhZqAn7Xbg@jetpack&version=1.4.5&maxAppVersion=35.0&status=userEnabled&appID={ec8030f7-c20a-464f-9b0e-13a3a9e97384}&appVersion=31.0&appOS=Darwin&appABI=x86_64-gcc3&locale=en-US&currentAppVersion=31.0&updateType=97&compatMode=normal I see:

> <em:updateLink>https://addons.cdn.mozilla.net/storage/public-staging/351740/googleyandex_search_link_fix-1.4.5-fx+sm.xpi</em:updateLink>

However, https://addons.cdn.mozilla.net/storage/public-staging/351740/googleyandex_search_link_fix-1.4.5-fx+sm.xpi gives me "404 Not Found". Installing from AMO works on the other hand, there you get https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/downloads/file/271728/googleyandex_search_link_fix-1.4.5-fx+sm.xpi as download URL which works.

I don't know whether other extensions are affected as well.

Version 1.4.6 has been released and the update manifest now points to https://addons.cdn.mozilla.net/storage/public-staging/351740/google_search_link_fix-1.4.6-sm+fx.xpi - and again "404 Not Found".

I also went to the list of recently updated add-ons, Speed Dial is currently at the top. The corresponding update URL is https://versioncheck.addons.mozilla.org/update/VersionCheck.php?reqVersion=2&id=[e-mail]&version=1.4.5&maxAppVersion=35.0&status=userEnabled&appID={ec8030f7-c20a-464f-9b0e-13a3a9e97384}&appVersion=31.0&appOS=Darwin&appABI=x86_64-gcc3&locale=en-US&currentAppVersion=31.0&updateType=97&compatMode=normal which points to https://addons.cdn.mozilla.net/storage/public-staging/344147/speed_dial_fvd_new_tab_page_sync-5.5.3-fx.xpi - also "404 Not Found". Same thing with YouTube High Definition which is listed next.

So it can be established that automatic updates are broken for any extension updated after 2014-08-16 (at least), raising priority and tweaking summary based on that.

We need someone to take this bug.

Should have been fixed now (VAMO had not been pushed when we did the staticfiles changes last push, we just did it after fixing bug 1055654)
