Changed to funfactory LocaleURLMiddleware and urlresolvers.

Reopening -- this is clearly still happening.

[James Bonacci [:jbonacci]]

Yep.
Open Opera on Mac.
Clear out all settings.
In the search bar (Google or Yahoo), search for MDN.
Click on the link to Mozilla Developer Network.
Get the ja version of the site.

I don't see this behavior. What's the URL you click on the search result?

Comment 8

[James Bonacci [:jbonacci]]

Duped on two Macs now (running 10.7).
Open latest version of Opera.
Search (in Google or Yahoo) for "Mozilla Developer Network" or "MDN"
First, or best, choice link says this:
"Mozilla Developer Network
https://developer.mozilla.org/
Organized by topics provides documentation about extensions, themes, applications, frameworks and technologies."

The actual link shown if I hover over it is
https://developer.mozilla.org/

But, if I simply click on it, I get this instead:
https://developer.mozilla.org/ja/

I can confirm strange behavior, though I'm getting redirected to French locale.

Opera 54.0 for Mac does not reproduce:

* Download from https://www.opera.com/
* Search for MDN
* Click link to MDN Web Docs (https://developer.mozilla.org)
* Get 302 redirected to https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/

There are a few possible reasons why this changed:

* No longer in SCL3, using different load balancers
* Locale redirects are now 302, not 301, so less likely to be incorrectly cached (bug 1385315)
