414258 - Make 404 friendlier when trying to view a specific crash

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 456402

(Socorro :: General, task)

Description

[Justin Scott [:fligtar]]

Now that about:crashes is around, people can see lots of crashes from way back. Of the 6 crashes I show, only 1 of them does not show a 404 when clicking to view it on crash-stats.

I'm guessing we delete crashes after awhile to save space, but if that's so, the error message should probably be more like "Sorry, we couldn't find this report. We clean up reports every X days, so yours was probably removed with that. Here's a list of other resources that you might be interested in: ____" rather than just says "404 Not Found". In-product links to 404s just looks kinda bad.

for bonus points, you could use 410 instead of 404 for cases where you've deleted the incident. that'd be really great :).
