[Stephen Donner [:stephend] Not actively reading bugmail]

Attachment: Errors on prod

Caveat: I don't know what this actually affects, functionality-wise, but it's bad to have 404s, regardless.

STR:

1. Using Nightly (at least), open Web Console
2. Load https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/
3. Look in Web Console at the network requests

Actual:

I'm not 100% sure about yhis yet, but I think the 404s from plugins.mozilla.org might be part of how the service works. I saw others for some plugins that did not need updating. I think it may be saying "Newer version? Not found." Still investigating.

Paul can you still reproduce this error? Do not see it with the new plugincheck (en/us version)
