Comment 0 for bug 246041

Whenever you encounter a bug report page containing the message "This bug is not recorded as needing to be fixed in ______" and an "Also Needs Fixing Here" button, ~99% of the time it is because the bug used to be filed on the context you're looking at it from, but has since been moved elsewhere. Even if that move was incorrect, clicking "Also Needs Fixing Here" is the wrong way to revert it, because it will add a new context to the bug report, rather than changing the existing one.

So the only situation in which the "Also Needs Fixing Here" button is useful is if, knowing that a bug report is currently filed on one context but should also be filed on another, you manually construct the URL of the bug report in the as-yet-unfiled context, and visit it. This is so incredibly unlikely, that the button is clutter that is probably doing more harm than good.

I suggest that the button and its alert be removed, and that visiting a bug report in a context for which it is not filed should instead return a 301 Moved Permanently redirect to a context for which it is filed.

Fixing this would resolve bug 45015 and bug 151251.
