Why do the links on TB site go to FF?

Why do the links on TB site go to FF?
Tue, 15 Apr 2008 07:54:57 -070
I've noticed this problem for a long time. Whenever I go to this page:

   http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/thunderbird/

and click on the "Addons" link, I go to this page:

   https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/

instead of this page:

   https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/

Not only that, but when I click on "Support", I go to this page:

   http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firefox+Support+Home+Page

instead of this page:

   http://www.mozilla.org/support/thunderbird/

What's up with that? I know that TB is going to be here:

   http://www.mozillamessaging.com/en-US/

but why confuse people? This can only be deliberate, but what possible 
reason could there be for doing this?

You know, I would. Except for the fact that I just tried logging in and 
they wouldn't accept my most recent account information. I keep having 
to create account after account after account to simply make them aware 
of bugs. If they're going to run me through the ringer every time I want 
to simply point out a problem, then they can do without my input I'm afraid.

Sorry, that's just the way I feel about it.

I knew that this would happen, by the way, and that's why I posted the 
message to this group. Rather than wanting to put myself through all the 
hurdles required to submit a bug, I had hoped that somebody from the Moz 
team would be monitoring this group and maybe notice my remarks.
