Pressing ctrl-alt-f brings up the fishcam with the url http://www.netscape.com/fishcam/fishcam.html

2.Press ctrl-alt-f



Actual Results:  
Get 404 error for http://www.netscape.com/fishcam/fishcam.html

[Stephen Donner [:stephend] Not actively reading bugmail]

http://wp.netscape.com/fishcam/ is the one that works...

In this case, this bug should be "replace http://www.netscape.com/fishcam/fishcam.html URL with http://wp.netscape.com/fishcam/".

http://journals.aol.com/fishcammv/aolmvfishcam/ seems to actually update

Alt Gr-f does the same (on a French keyboard)

The feeds doesn't seem to work. Looks like the images are broken. Maybe it's time for something SeaMonkey-related instead?

Comment 6

[Serge Gautherie (:sgautherie)]

There is some kind of relation/duplication between this bug and bug 290235.

Comment 7

[[e-mail]]

I'll go with the first url, the second one seems to be a blog.

Comment 8

[[e-mail]]

Actually the first one doesn't work either, because the "cams" just link to the blog; how about http://pictures.fishcam.netscape.com/fishcam/fishimage.jpg

Comment 9

[Robert Kaiser]

I would either remove it completely or link the blog, which seems to always have a small version of the latest image and a link to the URL in comment #8

Comment 10

[Joshua Prowse]

This is the best fishcam on the internet http://www.picobay.com/fishcam/

It's a stable URL & there's no reason why the fishcam has to be in-house.

Attachment: proposed patch, fixes the broken URL

In the future we may want to remove this feature completely
or change the URL to point to another location (I'll leave
that up to bug #290235), but for now it may be best to just 
fix the URL instead of getting a "page not found" error
message.

This could be good to land on branch as well, I think. Extremely safe.
