Build ID: 20130704223137
Steps to reproduce:
Hello. This is not a bug strictly talking —I think— but a suggestion.
I have some bookmarks related to both Mozilla Firefox & Mozilla Thunderbird's "Final" & "Beta" releases and I've noted their structure simply don't match, which makes it tricky to have saved a correct bookmark.
■Mozilla Firefox "Final" release notes:
http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/notes
When you click on that link, it takes you automatically to the current "Final" release. Right now, that URL redirects to this one:
http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/23.0/releasenotes/
However, it all ends here, since Firefox "Beta" release notes link is
http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/beta/notes/
but there's no handy link to save that URL, which now redirects to:
http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/23.0beta/releasenotes/
and will redirect to every new Beta's release notes.
Actual results:
Nonetheless it's even worse the Thunderbird case — It seems there's not a generic, "redirectable" link worth saving.
■Mozilla Thunderbird "Final" release notes —not "redirectable"—:
http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/17.0.8/releasenotes/
But you might not want to bookmark that URL because it'll be useless when a new "Final" release be out.
Something similar happens with the Thunderbird "Beta" release notes link, which now is:
http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/23.0beta/releasenotes/
But, again, it will old very soon, useless.
Expected results:
I expected these stable URLs to bookmark:
http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/notes » WORKS!
http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/beta/notes/ » WORKS!
http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/notes » 404
http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/beta/notes/ » 404

Never knew FF had this, not even sure it gets advertised anywhere.
I'd be quite happy to do this, but I'd really want this automated in some fashion - the Firefox method just adds yet another place to forget to update:
http://viewvc.svn.mozilla.org/vc/projects/mozilla.com/trunk/.htaccess?r1=118553&r2=118554
Sancus - is there any way we could formulate these redirects off the product-details files?
Does this change with the shift to the newer bedrock website base?
