bug 999784 - Test new AMO endpoint with current and older Fx Desktop browsers

Summary

The IT and Cloud Services team are working to change the endpoint to which the blocklist ping is directed. Browsers requesting the "old" address will receive a 301 redirect. We need to make sure that this works correctly with older versions of the browser. If it doesn't, then browsers may not receive updated blocklists and we may not receive correct ADI information.

Testing

Checks

  • the browser downloads the correct XML file following a ping to the test server

Platforms

  • Windows 2000 through 8.1
  • Mac OSX 10.5 through 10.9
  • Ubuntu 12.04 and 14.04
  • Android 2.2 and 4.4
  • Firefox OS 1.2 and 1.4

Firefox Versions

  • Desktop: Firefox 32, 29, 10esr, 4.0, 3.6
  • Android: Firefox 32, 29, XUL
  • Firefox OS: stock browser

Test

  • Start Firefox with a new profile
  • Open about:config
  • Change addons.mozilla.org to addons-blocklist-redirect.allizom.org in the extensions.blocklist.url
  • Set extensions.blocklist.interval to 10
  • In Firefox 30 and above, you must first enable chrome debugging
    • Open the debugging tools (Tools Menu > Web Developer > Web Console) on Windows -> ALT key to expose the menu bar.
    • Open the Options Panel (Gear icon on the developer tools toolbar, left of the Console Tab)
    • Find and check Advanced Settings > Enabled chrome debugging
  • Restart Firefox
  • Open Browser Console (Tools > Web Developer > Browser Console) -- Error Console in older versions of Firefox
  • Paste and run this snippet: 
    Components.classes["@mozilla.org/extensions/blocklist;1"].getService(Components.interfaces.nsITimerCallback).notify(null);
  • Verify the correct redirect and XML file (more details to be determined)
