1907035 - about:support fails to load experimental features. Missing genai-settings-chat-title string

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Henry Wilkes (they/them) [:henry-x]]

Using my developer build, after opening "about:support" I get the following error in the page console:

[fluent] Missing message in locale en-US: genai-settings-chat-title support
[fluent] Couldn't find a message: genai-settings-chat-title support
stack of snapshot error for about:support: TypeError: titleL10nObjects[i] is null

and the "Experimental Features" table is empty as a result.

My guess is that bug 1894999 forgot to add <link rel="localization" href="preview/genai.ftl" /> to aboutSupport.xhtml.

The patch landed in nightly and beta is affected.
:Gijs, is this bug important enough to require an uplift?

• If yes, please nominate the patch for beta approval.
• If no, please set status-firefox129 to wontfix.

I assume we'll want this on Release & ESR128 also.

This does affect beta+ as even though these are hidden from about:preferences by default, the table is always shown in about:support for those who do visit that page. Although an empty table of preferences that the user would have needed to go to about:config to change might not be so urgent?

There was a deployment to Lando yesterday that should have fixed this.
If you could try again?
