424209 - redirect Firefox 3 Customize bookmark to a new page

Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(www.mozilla.org :: General, defect)

Description

[John Slater]

This bug is to resolve an issue originally discussed here:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=415580#c9. The goal is to update
some of the default Firefox 3 bookmarks to point to newer and/or better
content.

In this case, we'd like the Customize bookmark in Firefox 3 to point to http://%LOCALE%.www.mozilla.com/%LOCALE%/firefox/addons/ (instead of http://%LOCALE%.www.mozilla.com/%LOCALE%/firefox/customize/).

Please let me know if there are any questions or if I need to provide
additional clarification.

Thanks,
John

More information:

The bookmark points to:

http://%LOCALE%.www.mozilla.com/%LOCALE%/firefox/customize/

this bug is requesting that we redirect that target to:

https://addons.mozilla.org/%LOCALE%/firefox/

These redirects are handled by the site editors in .htaccess files.

Per Axel's request, am adding a dependency on https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=415580.

Morgamic: same question - this can be done now, or with the launch of the new mozilla.com, I'm pretty ambivolent. Whatever's easier for you guys.

Believe these are managed by IT -- are they in SVN somewhere?  Either way, if it's in SVN we should stage it first.  So I'd like to get this done in the next week or so.

They are controlled by the mozilla.com webmasters via SVN, not IT.

Do you want this done ASAP, or do you want this live with the Firefox 3 release?

the /addons/ page was moved to /customize/ for all locales so we no longer need a redirect.

That's correct - thanks for the reminder.
