679126 - make sure in-product updater handles redirects

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Release Engineering :: General, defect)

Description

[[e-mail] (:bhearsum)]

After the One Mozilla migration happens all of our release notes will start redirecting from mozilla.com -> mozilla.org/firefox. We need to make sure that the in-product Updater supports these redirects.

Ben means detailsURL (and the new attributes) here.

Comment 2

[Robert Strong (they/them - no direct email)]

The detailsURL is just opening the URL in product so that is safe.

Though they should all be safe is there any reason not to use the new urls in the configs instead of the urls that redirect?

Not at all, and we're going to (bug 679077) - but I'm trying to figure out if we need to go back and adjust existing snippets.
