Still getting reports of inablility to get to search plugins...

I got the page: We're sorry but we can't find what you're looking for." when I simply selected "Add Engines..." from the search box drop-down menu on your toolbar.  Apparently I cannot add other search engines to the list already provided.

I'm using Firefox 1.5.0.11 and have it updated automatically.

----------------

also looks like there are problems trying to get dictionaries...

Hi,

I have try to download Croatian dictionary from:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/downloads/file/13906/croatian_dictionary_-_hrvatski_rje%C4%8Dnik-1.0.1-firefox+thunderbird+seamonkey.xpi

Once I have saved the file I realised it's only 9,514 bytes long instead
of  724KB reported on the web site.
There was no error message when downloading and it would appear I am not
the only one experiencing the same problem, as I did check message board
to see if I'm doing something wrong.

If this problem is not of your concern could you point me to right
direction.

Thanks in advance

Hallo webmaster,

für Thunderbird 2.0 wollte ich das deutsche Wörterbuch installieren.
Wenn man auf der Seite
https://addons.mozilla.org/de/thunderbird/browse/type:3
den Link de-DE anklickt kommt die Fehlermeldung:
Diese Seite wurde leider nicht gefunden.
Gleiche Fehlermeldung bei anderen Wörterbüchern.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen

Hi,
I just upgradet to Thunderbird 2.0. It looks wonderful, but when trying to go to the dictionaries and click on the page of that language, a message arrives me, that the page doesn't exist. What happened?
Thanks

Hi
I am trying to download an English GB dictionary to use in Thunderbird 2.
I got to the site https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/browse/type:3 direct from the Spell check function in Thunderbird.
On selecting the EN-GB link I get the site https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/en-US/thunderbird/downloads/file/11460/british_english_dictionary-1.19-fx+zm+tb.xpi
which informs me that the link is broken, ' We’re sorry, but we can’t find what you’re looking for. '

Please can you supply a GB dictionary?
Rick.

Anyone have FF 1.5 handy to test this?  

When I go to the above URL with this patch in place, it gets redirected properly.  Just looking for a code review before committing.

Patch to fix 404

Looks good to me, but I haven't tested it.  Prolly worth expediting to prod if it tests out.
