Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 278394

(addons.mozilla.org Graveyard :: Public Pages, defect)

Description

[Alan Holding]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050321 Firefox/1.0.2 StumbleUpon/1.9993
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050321 Firefox/1.0.2 StumbleUpon/1.9993

The Newest Additions RSS feed is using incorrect URLs which result in 404 Not
Found errors.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. I subscribed to the "newest additions" RSS feed
(https://addons.update.mozilla.org/rss/?application=firefox&list=newest) on the
Mozilla Update home page (https://addons.update.mozilla.org/).

2. I placed the RSS feed as a live bookmark in the Bookmarks Toolbar in Firefox
(Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050321
Firefox/1.0.2).

3. As an example of the bug with the RSS feed (not the extension I'm linking to
here), the link to the page about Table Inspector 0.1 for Firefox uses this URL
- https://addons.update.mozilla.org/moreinfo.php?id=464&vid=1562 - which gets me
a 404 Not Found error.

The link to Table Inspector 0.1 for Firefox on the Mozilla Update home page (in
the Newest Additions section) uses a different URL -
https://addons.update.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?application=firefox&version=1.0&os=Windows&id=464
- which works fine.

So, to clarify this example...

Bad URL:
https://addons.update.mozilla.org/moreinfo.php?id=464&vid=1562

Good URL:
https://addons.update.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?application=firefox&version=1.0&os=Windows&id=464
Actual Results:  
404 Not Found error when clicking a link in the RSS feed.

Expected Results:  
Taken me to the correct page on Mozilla Update.
