625837 - When using about:addons, clicking on an addon redirects to generic page instead of addon details

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 625716

(addons.mozilla.org Graveyard :: Discovery Pane, defect)

Description

[John Ford [:jhford] CET/CEST Berlin Time]

Steps to reproduce:

1) go to about:addons
2) click on 'Get Add-ons'
3) click on any add-on's icon
4) notice a brief flash of a page that has a button to install add-on for < 1 second
5) notice a page that has a rounded-corner box titled 'What are add-ons?"

I asked on IRC and was told that this is likely a redirection happening that should be happening

Clicking on the link with the webconsole logs the following HTTP requests

Request URL:
    https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/discovery/addon/256/
Request Method:
    GET
Status Code:
    HTTP/1.1 301 MOVED PERMANENTLY

Request URL:
    https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/discovery/addon/download-manager-tweak/
Request Method:
    GET
Status Code:
    HTTP/1.1 200 OK

Going to both pages in a regular window gives me the proper installation page, with working redirect.

Sorry, this should read:

I asked on IRC and was told that this is likely a redirection happening that should not be happening, or is happening incorrectly
