639476 - Changelog is hidden

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

Description

[annoying]

It is impossible to find the changelog on the mozilla websites. First of all you get randomly bounced around mozilla.org and mozilla.com and both pages yield nothing if searched for "changelog" or "security bugs" or anything.

I had to use google to find

https://www.mozilla.org/security/known-vulnerabilities/firefox36.html

which doesn't even mention the current version (3.6.15) at ALL. So what is this? a super stealth update?


More googling found me 
https://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/3.6.15/releasenotes/

which finally answers my question.

This should be easy. Finding out what changed in the auto-update should be ONE CLICK FROM THE HOME PAGE, not a 15 minute search affair.

Please fix this.

Reproducible: Always

We currently have a link to the release notes from the page that opens when you update Firefox. It's only on the English version of this page though, bug 647865 is here to add this link to all locales.

We think it is the right place to provide this information. See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=643952#c3 for more details.
