Comments: texturizer.net -> mozilla.org

Well, now that it's ready, shouldn't maybe the "Firefox Help" link on the main http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/ page be updated to point to the new location?

The copyright link on every page (© 2002-2004 David Tenser.) points to the non existent page
http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/contact.html

(When) will Thunderbird Help follow?

not forgetting of course thanks to texturizer who have so kindly hosted the old site for these last few years.

Constructive criticism:

There's no way to get back to index.html. Once I'm in a subpage, I can't get back to the main page without using my back button.

http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/support/menu.html is way broken, breaking the layout and having about 10 extra closing div tags.

Other than that, it looks really nice!

Good to see the help already there. I was looking for it last weekend but didn't see it there on m.o

Thomas: The copyright link is there probably because it existed in the texturizer.net version.

Simplex: I think David misplaced the latest file he has for menu.html.

David, should I send the latest version of menu.html again?

Assuming you don't want to maintain two versions, texturizer.net/firefox/ should have a permanent redirect to mozilla.org/products/firefox/support/

While I will miss the beautiful design of the old Firefox help, this is a good move. Great work David.

The end of an era

I think a link should be placed and stickied at mozillaZine for feedback, or at least an official place to give a little feedback (unless thats what this post is for?)

David, you rock!

The keyboard shortcuts are outdated. e.g. Ctrl + J no longer trigger Page Info (which is quite sad IMO)...

Dude, noone can compare.

Thank you.

Yep. Unless you do a 404 on texturizer.net, many search engines will trip it's duplicate content filter and things get messy from there.

You should send a 301 code (permanently moved) to the new URL.

Posted by Simplex at October 6, 2004 5:03 PM

Nice update, sadly though some of the "Tips & Tricks" no longer work under 1.0PR so that page desperately needs an update or new users are going to get rapidly frustrated.

Posted by Jules at October 6, 2004 5:55 PM

While I think this was the right move, I have to say , the previous design was more user-friendly.

Everyone loves cool url :-)
