In the interest of time, the "fixed" sites got only a mini-workover as only the main download box portion was changed, eliminating the inline javascript and replacing with the new js function call -- thus the minimal amount of translated strings in the msg_prop-I10n_xx.js files. And, leaving the rest of the html sections of the pages -- social links, extensions, additional resources, in tact.
