707652 - its-a-trap.html and its-an-attack.html on mozilla.org do not cause their relevant warnings to be thrown in Firefox

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Toolkit :: Safe Browsing, defect)

Description

[KLB]

Over the weekend, two test pages on mozilla.org stopped triggering warnings in Firefox. The pages are:
https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/its-a-trap.html
https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/its-an-attack.html

Its-a-trap is supposed to cause Firefox to throw a phishing warning while its-an-attack is supposed to cause Firefox to throw a malware warning. The dot com version of these URLs do still throw warnings, however, anyone who is referred to these pages by other Mozilla resources or search engines will be confused.

AMO editors and theme developers are advised to themes against these pages both on Mozilla properties and in forum threads on places like MozillaZine. Ideally the dot org version of these URLs would be "fixed" so that the proper warnings are thrown. Alternatively the dot org versions of these URLs should redirect to the dot com versions.

What version/build did you test this on?

Those pages are part of the automated tests, and it's very much WORKSFORME in Nightly, so we'll have to figure out why it stopped working for you.

Confirmed on Firefox 3.6.24, 8.0.1, 9.0beta and Aurora10.0a2, but not Nightly11.0a1.

Alice, that's expected, bug 693389 only got merged in Nightlies so far.

The mozilla.org pages were never blocked before the commit in bug 693389 so they can't have "stopped triggering warnings".

Sorry, I was misreading comment #0.

I am wondering if the problem being seen is that the .org links are not being detected as phishing links but the .com links are.

See the sumo answer by <i>the-edmeister</i> https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/914524#answer-301716

If this is not the problem being dealt with here, and a separate bug need filing possibly someone will point me in the correct direction, Thanks

John, what you say and what is said in that support topic are correct. The pages were moved, but most Firefoxes out there still have an old database.

The database is updated only from Firefox 11 on. I've just filed a request to uplift this to Firefox 10 as well.

Works for me now. Is there a specifc product, version, or OS this needs checking on ?

The bug itself says X86 Windows XP

Not really,  though it's not supported on Firefox OS for now.

Obsoleted due to bug 971231 and others.
