Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: Awesomescreen, defect, P3)

Description

[John Lin]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:49.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/49.0
Build ID: 20160920074044

Steps to reproduce:

I set my language preference to zh-TW, and enabled search suggestion. Then go type something like "台" in the search box.


Actual results:

The search suggestions shows "台湾" and "台湾新闻", which are in zh-CN.


Expected results:

In my desktop version of Firefox, it shows "台鐵", "台灣銀行", which are actually in zh-TW.

It only effects Google search suggestion. In here[1] we provide search template without specifying language, then Google fallback to Simplified-Chinese results.

But I have no idea why Desktop version wont be effect.

Setting priority to P1 for TW users.

This is an assigned P1 bug without activity in two weeks. 

If you intend to continue working on this bug for the current release/iteration/sprint, remove the 'stale-bug' keyword.

Otherwise we'll reset the priority of the bug back to '--' on Monday, August 28th.

[triage] If this affects one locale, seems non-critical but if it affects more, it could be important: leaving P1.

Action item: determine if this affects more than TW and consult upper triage.

Mike, I think without further reports from the field, we can assume this only affects one locale, and keep it a P3 until we have more eng resources. Let me know if you disagree.
