User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; rv:54.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/54.0
Build ID: 20170628075643

Steps to reproduce:

My device is a Samsung J7 running Android 6.0.1, Firefox 56.0a1 (2017-07-01).

1) Navigate to about:firefox
2) Click on "FAQ", "Support", "Privacy Policy" or "Credits"


Actual results:

Nothing happens. Clicking on "Licensing Information" or "Know Your Rights" works.


Expected results:

Redirection to relevant webpage.
[Tracking Requested - why for this release]: regression in default bookmark about:firefox. This is a blocker to releasing Firefox for Android v56

Providing the tree that was bisected (autoland/mozilla-inbound/mozilla-central) and the link to the change set range is helpful.

A ton of work is in that one day range. https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/pushloghtml?fromchange=5293e5f8935831e2e0d91ac9b69c1b473b3c0177&tochange=b266a8d8fd595b84a7d6218d7b8c6b7af0b5027c

This needs to be bisected using inbound/autoland builds.

If you mean the styling work for about:rights for instance, then no, this seems unrelated to that.

Hi sylvestre
Could you please check if your patch causes this bug?
Cause I see in comment 3 your fix in Bug 1372215 has modified mobile/android/chrome/content/about.xhtml
Thank you!
Flags: needinfo?(sledru)
This is very unlikely, my patch just hides a link 
see the patch here: https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/5c0b6ba1da06
Flags: needinfo?(sledru)
After I remove your fix and build again, the links could be clicked normally.
Could you please help try verify again?

I guess you will have problem with your fix in here
http://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/mobile/android/chrome/content/about.js#56
cause releaseNotesURL is not found
This is just a small fix. If anyone want to take it, feel free to do it. Just add a null check in comment 9.
If no one want to do it. I'll fix it before 56.

My bad, I took it as I am the one who introduced it.
FYI, this is only happening with nightly.
