all-beta claims Firefox 4 is compatible with MacOS 10.4+, should say 10.5+

This is catching a fair number of duplicates in bugzilla, so I think it's pretty urgent to fix. I'm worried that the code might be shared with the stable release download button, though.

We should also update http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/system-requirements.html because the Beta 1 relnotes point the page for sysreqs.

fixed in r70181 on trunk

Comment 4

[Pascal Chevrel:pascalc]

r70182 on stage

Comment 5

[Pascal Chevrel:pascalc]

btw, this is not shared with the stable release download code which does not mention any version number for MacOSX

Comment 6

[Pascal Chevrel:pascalc]

I am seeing the code change on stage but I am not a Mac user, could somebody with a mac confirm that they are seeing the right version number in the dl box now before pushing to production ? Thanks

Timeless, you are in Europe so it may take time for you to see the change as the pages are cached and need propagating to our European datacenter, can you check on trunk which has no caching of pages?:

I am in Europe and in both your link and pascalc's link both say : "...for Mac OS X 10.5 and above..."

do we need another bug about the system requirements being hosed?

https://www-trunk.stage.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/4.0b1/releasenotes/#

Before installing, make sure your computer meets the system requirements.

https://www-trunk.stage.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/system-requirements.html

which is:

Firefox 3.6 System Requirements

Comment 12

[Simon Montagu :smontagu]

https://www-trunk.stage.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/beta/ also needs fixing

Comment 13

[Pascal Chevrel:pascalc]

fixed all-beta.html pushed to production in r70184

Comment 14

[Pascal Chevrel:pascalc]

fix to the /beta/ page in r70185 on trunk

Comment 15

[Pascal Chevrel:pascalc]

fixed /beta/ merged to stage in r70186 and on production in r70187

Comment 16

[Pascal Chevrel:pascalc]

I propose that we close this bug and open a different bug for the system-requirements issue since this involves writing a new version of system requirements.
