1096849 - http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox//releasenotes/ gives a 404

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

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

Description

[James Devney]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; WOW64; rv:33.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/33.0
Build ID: 20141106120505

Steps to reproduce:

So on the web page which appears for a 404 like: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/releasenotes

There's a link to the same page under 'Release Notes': https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/releasenotes

Which generates the same 404 error.



Expected results:

I'd expect a page with the new release notes to be listed.

As an aside I find it very difficult to find the release notes for each new update.

Where did you get that link?

Comment 2

[James Devney]

Good question. I can't find it now. I'm sure it must have been from the Help > About Firefox menu item, but nothing I click there now links to this page.

Finding the release notes now appears to be straightforward:

Help > Firefox Help (from menu)
Opens:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/products/firefox?as=u&utm_source=inproduct
Which has a link "What's New" which provides the release notes.

It could have been this process which provided the broken link, but it's certainly fixed now.

Happy to close the bug: marked as Resolved:invalid.
