(Tonnes our Dutch localizer reported this bug) On windows 2000/XP, whatever be the locale (tested nl, fr, en-US), if you go to the Help menu and click on Check for updates, the update box loads Firefox 5 release notes instead of the details page, that is: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/5.0/releasenotes/ instead of presumably http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/3.6/details/ See the screenshot for the problem. I am tentatively filing that as a mozilla.com bug although I couldn't find a redirect in our site that would cause that bug, maybe the url hardcoded in Firefox 3.6.18 update mechanism is incorrect and this bug should moved to products.

Actually, the problem is in the XML file returned by the update server: https://aus2.mozilla.org/update/3/Firefox/3.6.18/20110614230723/WINNT_x86-msvc/en-US/release/Windows_NT%205.1/default/default/update.xml?force=1 Not sure which product/component this warrants though...

moving to AUS/general, I think that's a better component

detailsURL is set to https://www.mozilla.com/%LOCALE%/firefox/5.0/releasenotes/ where normally we'd set it to https://www.mozilla.com/%LOCALE/firefox/5.0/details/ for a major update. However that doesn't exist, and in fact just got filed today in bug 668108. Over to rail/bheasrum to untangle after Christian tells us what he wants to do.

Five days later... Is this still unresolved?

Point it to the details link. I've pushed a stopgap there for en-US (hopefully localization will follow shortly). Please check with me before putting the new snippets on the wire.

I would suggest to create a version-agnostic details page. With the rapid release cycle, it might be overlooked again by some locales, so it would be easier to simply have something to copy-paste.

I have pushed the fixed snippets to the betatest and releasetest channels. I still need to investigate updates for the 3.6.x (<3.6.18). Looks like updates for those versions point to 5.0 instead of 3.6.18.

Rail, I read comment #6 to mean use '../5.0/details', but it looks like you've used '.../3.6/details/'. Was there some other reason to do that ? pascalc has fixed up the details pages for locales now, eg https://www.mozilla.com/de/firefox/5.0/details/ https://www.mozilla.com/tr/firefox/5.0/details/ https://www.mozilla.com/fa/firefox/5.0/details/

I have pushed the fixed snippets to the release and beta channels. The XML looks fine.
