--- Comment #6 from Kevin Israel (PleaseStand) <[email protected]> --- (In reply to comment #5) > [...] This makes replaceState more a cosmetically disguise, not a > real > solution for the problem. The "Redirected from" link is a basic feature that should be usable even when JavaScript is disabled. If we were to use a 301 redirect, as explained in bug 18883, "fudging in" a URL parameter would be necessary, and it would create even uglier URLs that are somewhat harder to cache. For example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malia_Obama#Malia_and_Sasha_Obama versus http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barack_Obama?r=Malia_Obama#Malia_and_Sasha_Obama In either case, cleaning up the URL would require replaceState. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
