815624 - Update firefox redirections for "current Firefox"

Status: VERIFIED WONTFIX

(www.mozilla.org :: Legacy PHP system, defect, P1)

Description

[Anthony Ricaud (:rik)]

With every release, we need to manually update two places so that old Firefox users go to /firefox/new and users of current or more go to /firefox/fx.

Done in trunk with r111130, r111131 for stage and r111132 for production.

Lukas: Do you have a list of steps to run when releasing a new version? If yes, could you add this step please :)

Comment 3

[Anthony Ricaud (:rik)]

I forgot one step too, updating our tests, like in this commit https://github.com/mozilla/mcom-tests/commit/d85e9e38e4bcf9a3ef7108bc75b3259f0e82cdfe

Obviously, the long term fix here is to import this logic into Bedrock. When someone tackles this, make sure to run those mcom-tests.

I think this may have been fixed. Not sure if it was fixed for all locales, but we definitely do this kind of redirection in bedrock now at the /firefox/ url.

[Chris More [:cmore]]

Also, in the next few months, /firefox will be the new Firefox family webpage and thus the /firefox version-based redirect will have to be removed.

Comment 6

[Paul [:pmac] McLanahan]

Looks like we just need to remove these things from the PHP side. We should double check that they're all now really in bedrock.

Thus broke https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/. Sancus is reverting his changes to the PHP side

Comment 8

[Andrei Hajdukewycz [:sancus]]

Yeah, bedrock does not appear to handle these rewrites correctly at all really.

Comment 9

[Andrei Hajdukewycz [:sancus]]

reverted in r116221 (and added 21.* while I was at it), to prod in r116223.

[Mike Alexis [:malexis]]

A lot of redirect stuff has happened recently. Can you confirm this bug is invalid?

Comment 11

[Paul [:pmac] McLanahan]

Researching whether there is still work to do for this one.

Comment 12

[Paul [:pmac] McLanahan]

I believe bug 892716 has fixed this. The /firefox/ URL and redirects are indeed now being handled in bedrock. What remains with that bug is to clean up .htaccess.

Comment 13

[Chris More [:cmore]]

Yes, this is being resolved by bug 892716 and also will be deprecated by the Firefox Family website that will live at /firefox and the unified download page that will eliminate /firefox/fx/. Can we just close this bug out give what is above?

Comment 14

[Chris More [:cmore]]

the unified download in bug 868199 will deprecate the need for a /firefox/fx/ and /firefox/ and /firefox/fx/ will be redirected to /firefox/new/ in the near future. The /firefox/ redirect will still exist until the family page is launched at that URL.
