Browse All Add-ons links to 404

[Alexander Sack]

Binary package hint: firefox-3.5

This bug was filed upstream (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=499041), but is an ubuntu specific issue.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Tools > Add-ons > Get Add-ons
2. Click "Browse All Add-ons"

Actual Results:
Quoth the server, "404".

Expected Results:
Firefox should link to a page that exists, or mozilla.org should make the page
exist.

Kudos for providing a useful 404 page.

Evaluation:
This is an ubuntu only bug and happens because we have changed the appname until we make firefox 3.5 the default.

[Alexander Sack (asac)]

this will automatically get fixed when we make ffox 3.5 the default; however, this will take another few weeks (and wont happen for jaunty), so we should fix it anyway.

Accepted into jaunty-proposed, the package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

I can't reproduce this bug with package into jaunty-proposed (64 bits version)

Interestingly, I can no longer duplicate this in the Jaunty (non-proposed) version.
