366368 - Error when looking for dictionaries for Thunderbird on a.m.o

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[Frédéric Buclin]

When I go to https://addons.mozilla.org/fr/thunderbird/2.0b1/dictionaries/ and click the "Next results" link, I get an error.

That's the URL I get when I click the "get new dictionaries" link from the prefs panel in my Thunderbird 2.0b1 french version.

Comment 1

[Mike Shaver (:shaver emeritus)]

That's not the right URL to be in Thunderbird.  It should be

https://fr.add-ons.mozilla.com/fr/thunderbird/2.0b1/dictionaries/

according to the canonical format, and then I guess that URL should be redirecting to something like

https://addons.mozilla.org/thunderbird/dictionaries/?lang=fr

I didn't know that we were doing a dictionaries page for Thunderbird, so someone should file a bug on that if indeed one is needed.

Attachment: the fix

Format the dictionaries url string per shaver's comments. This pref just got out of synch with some changes made to Firefox.

Yup, this URL works fine.

But this redirection doesn't happen. shaver, should we file a separate bug for the redirection?

Comment 4

[Frédéric Buclin]

The URL has been updated. The redirect is still missing on a.m.o.

Comment 5

[Scott MacGregor]

The url has been fixed on the branch and the trunk for Thunderbird.

I filed Bug 367534 on addons to figure out the url redirection issue. 

i.e. why we get taken to 
https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/dictionaries/?lang=fr
instead of the existing page at:
https://addons.mozilla.org/thunderbird/dictionaries/?lang=fr

verified fixed for 1.8.1.3. using Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.2; en-US; rv:1.8.1.3) Gecko/20070326 Thunderbird/2.0.0.0 Mnenhy/0.7.5.0 ID:2007032620 (Thunderbird 2 RC 1) 

The correct site (after the amo relaunch) is now 
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/browse/type:3 - no error when looking for dictionaries for Thunderbird ("download more dictionaries")
