689099 - Going to mozilla.org from Safari on Mac PPC serves up Firefox 4, then Firefox 7 beta, none of which work on the PPC Macs

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 766606

(www.mozilla.org :: General, defect)

Description

[Alex Limi (:limi) — Firefox UX Team]

Attached are screenshots from the experience, but the short version is:

1. Attempting to install Firefox on my parents' computer, an older PowerBook.
2. First attempt to go to mozilla.com results in a page with no links or images (Step 1.png), using Safari 3.1.2 (Step 2.png)
3. By searching, I found a page with a download link (Step 3.png) that tells me that Firefox 4 is available
4. Clicking the download link serves up Firefox 7 beta (!), (Step 4.png)
5. The page being shown after clicking download is also without images (Step 5.png)

Not sure how important this is, but it would be great if we didn't show the link to Firefox newer than 3.6 since it isn't supported for PPC. Or we could point to the community-maintained TenFourFox build.

Thanks Limi.

James/Steven/Anthony...what do you think? Are we missing a redirect rule?
