Yes, it is as bad as it sounds. See http://www.mozilla.org/pt-BR/firefox/new/ for an example.

Can we add the versions of IE and what platforms are broken so that we can be sure a test plan is in place for this going forward?

(In reply to Chris More [:cmore] from comment #1) > Can we add the versions of IE and what platforms are broken so that we can > be sure a test plan is in place for this going forward? IE 6, IE 7 , IE8 are the versions I have tried so far

http://www.mozilla.org/ru/firefox/features/ also doesn't work so it makes me think that this is broken in all locales for wherever we link to the Download button

So the fallback link on the "thank you" page works so IE users could download Firefox.

Good point, unless they get frustrated and leave without clicking another link. So, it is still possible to download with IE, but the UX is not great given the failure of the button.

HIVE query for "all MSIE u/a" select ds, count(1) from research_logs where domain='www.mozilla.org' and ds >= '2012-05-28' and request_url like '%/products/download.html%' and user_agent LIKE '%msie%' group by ds order by ds desc; will post results once query is complete.

So from my investigation, I think this has been like that for a long time. It may have been less visible when mozilla-europe.org was still online. No need to rush a fix that could break more things. I'll fix this tomorrow, with a fresh head. I'll also call Pascal (who is on holidays) to ask him about the history of this code.

AFAICT, this dates back when we added the "thank you" pages for locales, in July 2011. This was bug 673155. So a quick fix is to disable the Thank you pages. That's what I'll do if I can't do a better fix by tonight.

Fix done in r108431. I took the liberty of pushing to stage with r108432 and prod with r108433. But it now needs heavy testing to see if any download button is broken anywhere else.

Raymond: I don't have a specific test scenario for you (I opened bug 784398 for this). I can just say that we need to test as many download buttons as possible on as many browsers as possible.

Rik, the experience is broken for all locales expect en-US when JavaScript is disabled. Users are redirected to the download page but have to click on another link to download Firefox. The en-US page automatically pops up a download with JavaScript disabled

Raymond: Have you tested IE7 and 8 on both Windows and Mac to verify too? We should also test the latest versions of IE while we are at it now to verify we didn't create an additional IE regressions.

I also ran spot checks in Firefox,Safari, Opera and Chrome on both Windows and Mac to make sure we didn't break anything.

The new-b page in bedrock will be pushed out on bedrock soon and will be localized.
