260736 - Firefox help should be at mozilla.org/support/firefox

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(www.mozilla.org :: General, defect)

Description

[Anne (:annevk)]

I think the help pages should be moved to this URI:
 <http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/help/>

Comment 1

[Anne (:annevk)]

See bug 260737 for Thunderbird.

Note: the original page at texturizer.net should give back a 301 to the new page
at mozilla.org I suppose. I hope that can be set up.

Attachment: Wrong link for "Firefox Help"

Screenshot of http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/ still showing the wrong
link for Firefox Help.

Comment 3

[chris hofmann]

sounds like this is happening...  look for "firefox central" soon

Comment 4

Firefox Help should be moved from 
http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/support/
to 
http://www.mozilla.org/support/firefox/

e.g.
http://www.apple.com/support/
http://www.apple.com/support/safari/
http://www.opera.com/support/

Comment 5

[fantasai]

I agree with that. Moving the files over will also need some heavy link-checking
and stuff.

Comment 6

[David Baron :dbaron: (⌚️UTC-5, no longer working on Mozilla)]

It also requires the permission of the author.

Comment 7

[David Tenser [:djst]]

David Baron, if you mean me, I have no problem moving the content to either
location on mozilla.org. The current location
<http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/support/> was suggested by Rafael
Ebron. If you want to use <http://www.mozilla.org/support/firefox/> instead, I'm
fine with that. 

Comment 8

[fantasai]

Rafael should not be making structural website decisions like that without at
least giving website-drivers a heads-up.

Firefox Central (see comment 3) is here:
http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/central.html

2004-11-09 is coming soon.
Firefox Help (and Thunderbird Help) should be moved to new location ASAP.

Comment 11

[Nick Bebout]

I will try to work on moving the files to /support/firefox ASAP (I think it has 
the necessary approvals, (Fantasai and the author)

Comment 12

[Nick Bebout]

These have been moved.

I have checked links and added a redirect so that if anyone still links to
/products/firefox/support apache will redirect to /support/firefox.

FIXED.

One more link to fix at
http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/central.html

"Frequently Asked Questions" under "Need Help?"
/products/firefox/support/faq.html -> /support/firefox/faq.html


Redirects from texturizer.net...

http://texturizer.net/firefox/
-> http://www.mozilla.org/support/firefox/

http://texturizer.net/mozilla/jp/firefox/
-> http://www.mozilla-japan.org/support/firefox/

Comment 14

[u115577]

As I mentioned in comment 13, we have the latest Japanese translation.
http://www.mozilla-japan.org/support/firefox/

Please set the redirection from
http://texturizer.net/mozilla/jp/firefox/ (obsolete)

FYI, there are 1300+ translated pages from mozilla.org now in Mozilla Japan.
More and more documents are translated.

[Anne (:annevk)]

Kohei Yoshino, could you open a separate bug for the redirect from texturizer to
mozilla-japan.org?

This bug has been fixed.
