<code>mozilla.org</code>
The following modifications should be made to the front page in each of the following release conditions:
<table border="1" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="1">
<tr><td>Final</td><td>Replace the content box at the top of the page with new product graphics, copy, etc. Remove any beta links. The download links should be updated automatically from VARIABLES</td></tr>
</table>
Final also includes security updates, although these generally do not include changes to copy or graphics, just updates to VARIABLES and as such no maintenance to the front page is usually required.
== Product Page ==
<code>mozilla.org/products/firefox</code>
The following modifications should be made to the product page in each of the following release conditions:
<table border="1" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="1">

<tr><td>Final</td><td>Replace the content box at the top of the page with new product graphics, copy, etc. Remove any beta links. The download links should be updated automatically from VARIABLES.

== System Requirements ==
<code>mozilla.org/products/firefox/system-requirements</code>
Check to see if system requirements have been affected by changes made during the release cycle and update this page. This happens more frequently than you might think, e.g. dropping support for OS X 10.1, etc.
== All Languages and Systems ==
<code>mozilla.org/products/firefox/all</code>
You will have to update the JavaScript data structures on this page for the new version numbers, as well as any new languages that may be present. This is a little complicated so take your time and test carefully.
== Release Notes ==
<code>mozilla.org/products/firefox/releases/#.#/</code>
In Firefox 1.0.x, the release notes page is a single document with multiple sections. For Firefox 1.5 and on, the release notes page should be broken up into individual documents covering these topics:
* Main Release Notes Page
Linked to from: Help Menu
* What's New in This Release
Linked to from: First run page after update, Details link in Software Update screens.
* Downloading and Installing
* Uninstalling
* Profile Folder
* Extensions and Thems
* Known Issues
* Troubleshooting
* FAQ
* Contributed Builds
* Other Resources & Links
This must be done since elements of the Software Update Service may wish to link to individual pages within this cluster of documents and not load the remainder.
