673568 - Add First Run page for Aurora Channel

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Anthony Ricaud (:rik)]

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #648330 +++

We're gonna have a first run page for Aurora, so we need Aurora to open it.

The URL should stay in the form of http://www.mozilla.com/%LOCALE%/%APP%/%VERSION%/firstrun

If I'm not mistaken, %VERSION% would be 8.0a2 when Aurora 8 will be released?

We need to know who is gonna do the mozilla-central -> mozilla-aurora merge to take care of this.

Correction, the URL should be http://www.mozilla.com/%APP%/%VERSION%/firstrun. The pref for this is startup.homepage_welcome_url

Looking at http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-aurora/source/browser/branding/aurora/pref/firefox-branding.js it seems that this wasn't done during yesterday's merge. Can someone confirm?

Yes, I can confirm. It wasn't deemed critical to have at the cutover, just we should get it in sometime. We also need a reviewed patch.

Also, I believe this means that a new tab (what's new) will open after every software update, which we actually *don't* want as aurora updates are pretty much every day. I'm actually not 100% sure on the behavior though.

Oh I didn't know Aurora was updating so often. Then yeah, it's probably not a good idea to do that.

Should we close as WONTFIX then?

Comment 10

[Anthony Ricaud (:rik)]

So correction: This is about the first run page, which is only shown after an installation.

hi christian,

as Anthony already mentioned this would only show up once after installation unlike the what's new. 

assigning to you and will track for next merge. 

thanks anthony!

This doesn't need to be tied to any merges. We can just make the change now to the aurora branding pref file.

I think this is WONTFIX.
