Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(www.mozilla.org Graveyard :: Thunderbird, defect)

Description

[Blake Winton (:bwinton) (:☕️)]

As seen in Thunderbird at <http://grab.by/aOy4> which shows <https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/6.0/whatsnew/?uri=/thunderbird/whatsnew&locale=en-US&version=6.0&os=WINNT&buildid=20110812055131> and <http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/>

This shows in-product, which isn't really good imo. Also added some comments to bug 682188 to try and get that moving.

I fixed this in the Thunderbird 7 what's new page specifically the other day, have yet to fix the entire site.

According to Phil Chee's post in MozillaZine TB Builds forum, the following line:
    <link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/ico" href="/path/to/thunderbird.ico" />
added to the headings in the Thunderbird pages should resolve the issue for now.

And it does: e.g. http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/ has <link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/ico" href="/thunderbird/img/favicon.ico" /> at the end of its line 11, and it gets a Thunderbird favicon, http://www.mozilla.org/thunderbird/img/favicon.ico

This seems to be fixed on:
https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/11.0beta/whatsnew/ (and newer)
https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/7.0/whatsnew/ (and newer)
https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/ (and all subpages accessible from there)

Except:
https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/organizations/

also not http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/thunderbird/ and subfolders. I would venture that it would be better for ftp.mozilla.org to display a generic "Mozilla" icon rather than a Firefox icon.

The Firefox favicon is also seen on localized pages like http://www.mozilla.org/nl/thunderbird. Can this be fixed too?

Seems to be fixed in newer What's New pages at least.

Of the pages mentioned in comment #0, I see http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/ with a Thunderbird favicon, but https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/6.0/whatsnew/?uri=/thunderbird/whatsnew&locale=en-US&version=6.0&os=WINNT&buildid=20110812055131 with a Firefox one (not the blue thunder bird and not the red Mozilla dragon).

P.S. Suppressing the ? string at the end of the URL changes nothing, but replacing 6.0 by 21.0 does.

Comment 16

[Tony Mechelynck [:tonymec]]

P.P.S. With 21.0 it's a 404 not-found page though.

favicons are set in the html for each individual page, at some point I fixed this for all whatsnew pages going forward. Fixing it for old versions is not really worth the time, as I don't have much time to work on Thunderbird website stuff anymore, and what time I will have is better spent porting the site to python and porting SUMOMO stuff over to SUMO.

That's because there was never any Thunderbird 21 release(just a beta). The last two Thunderbird release versions are 24 and 17.

Looks like some pages are still showing the global [M] favicon but Firefox is gone. I'll check all pages while migrating to Bedrock (Bug 836461).
