423853 - 404 : File Not Found Page loaded after every install/update on nightly builds.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 467273

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[seven]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X; en-us) AppleWebKit/523.10.6 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/3.0.4 Safari/523.10.6
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; en-US; rv:1.9b5pre) Gecko/2008031904 Minefield/3.0b5pre

After a nightly update is installed, the first page that opens should be "You have just installed the latest version of Firefox"; instead a "404 File Not Found" page opens. The text reads: "404: File Not Found

/projects/firefox/3.0b5pre/whatsnew/

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Download Firefox Nightly for Mac or use Tools, Addons, Find Updates.
2. Unzip and install.
3. Start Firefox.
Actual Results:  
The page which loads says:

404: File Not Found

/projects/firefox/3.0b5pre/whatsnew/

We are sorry, the file you requested could not be found.

Please check the spelling and punctuation. Our servers are case sensitive, so also be sure that the address has the correct case. You can use the links on this page or the search Mozilla feature at the top to find the document you were looking for.

Expected Results:  
The page should say:
"You have just installed the latest version of Firefox..." as it does when updating Firefox 2.xx

This has been a bug in every version of Minefield and GrandParadiso that I have tested on OSX. Please fix it; it's highly annoying. It makes new testers think they have have done something wrong on the install and they will be less inclined to help test the nightly builds.

Thanks.
