Description Jerry Amundson 2009-03-05 03:05:49 UTC
Description of problem:
First run of firefox returns 404.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
firefox-3.1-0.7.beta2.fc11.i586

How reproducible:
Only on user's first run of FF.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.install FF
2.login 
3.run FF
  
Actual results:
404: File Not Found

/projects/firefox/3.1b2/firstrun/

We are sorry, the file you requested could not be found.

Expected results:
Welcome page, e.g. http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/3.1b2/firstrun/

Additional info:
Looks like /usr/lib/firefox-3.1b2/defaults/preferences/firefox-branding.js:
pref("startup.homepage_welcome_url","http://www.mozilla.org/projects/%APP%/%VERSION%/firstrun/");
should be like
pref("http://www.mozilla.org/%general.useragent.locale%/%APP%/%VERSION%/firstrun/");

arrgh, clicked commit too soon, but I don't know the exact pref anyway... just "startup.homepage_welcome_url" should have been the first param above, of course.

Yes, firstrun URL doesn't work in all beta versions of Firefox. It will get fixed in the release of firefox. Nothing for us to fix.

Actually, I used to think that it's not our bug since I thought the page just didn't exist, but the reporter's comments lead me to believe otherwise.  We should figure out why it's not loading the en-US page which _does_ exist.  http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/3.1b2/firstrun/

Do other locales have a working firstrun page?

They seem to exist, but either re-direct to the en-US page, or to an error document, or not respond. For example:
http://fy-NL.www.mozilla.com/fy-NL/firefox/3.1b2/firstrun/

http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/3.1b1/firstrun/
http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/3.1b2/firstrun/
http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/3.1b3/firstrun/

All pages exist but the latest one were created a few days after b3 release. Really looks like mozilla bug.

Fine, but the url code is still incorrect. Please read the Description.

I see. The current (incorrect) firstrun page is:

http://www.mozilla.org/projects/firefox/3.1b3/firstrun/

but we want to change it to:

http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/3.1b3/firstrun/
