1168700 - Broken links on "Thunderbird Binaries" MDN page

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Developer Documentation Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Andrew Janke]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.9; rv:38.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/38.0
Build ID: 20150513174244

Steps to reproduce:

Go to the "MDN > Mozilla > Thunderbird > Thunderbird Binaries" page at https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Thunderbird/Thunderbird_Binaries. (I found this through Googling for "thunderbird nightly" when trying to find a build download link.


Actual results:

Several of the links are broken, in multiple sections.

"Early Preview Releases":
The Preview Releases link to http://www.mozillamessaging.com/thunderbird/early_releases/ just redirects back to the main production Thunderbird download page.

"Nightly builds from the comm-central 1.9.2 branch":
Both the "Latest English/localized 1.9.2 branch builds" links are 404.




Expected results:

I would expect live links to info about the current development in all of these, or explicit notes that this info is obsolete.

All that stuff about the Gecko 1.9.2 and Thunderbird 3.1 branch is pretty out of date now, isn't it?

Also, "every 24-hours by" should just be "every 24 hours by". No hyphen needed.

Thanks for reporting this. There's a little bit more to do, but I've updated the MDN to fix most of these issues.
