1158606 - Thunderbird beta Help->What's New has broken link to buglist "Various fixes and performance improvements"

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Thunderbird :: Help Documentation, defect)

Description

[Adrian Aichner [:anaran]]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:40.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/40.0
Build ID: 20150426030248

Steps to reproduce:

I click link "Various fixes and performance improvements"


Actual results:

404
for page
https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/33.0beta/releasenotes/buglist.html


Expected results:

Show release notes or a placeholder.

Remote debugging reveals this:

The relevant DOM node shows this in Firefox Devtools Inspector:

<a href="../releasenotes/buglist.html">
< $0.href
> "https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/33.0beta/releasenotes/buglist.html"
< let a = $0
> undefined
< a.baseURI
> "https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/33.0beta/whatsnew/?uri=/thunderbird/whatsnew/&locale=en-US&version=38.0&os=WINNT&buildid=20150417001046"

I don't know where the bad baseURI comes from.

Thanks for reporting this. I'm not sure we routinely keep this up to date in the past. It should probably be the same URL we have in the release notes?  (might be a duplicate)

While
Help->What's New
looks good and refreshing there, except for the obsolete feedback link!

Yeah, these release notes exist and look good:
https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/38.0beta/releasenotes/?uri=/thunderbird/releasenotes/&locale=en-US&version=38.0&os=WINNT&buildid=20150417001046
in 38.0
