Can we please automatically redirect from https://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/x/y.z to https://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/x/y.z? My browsing history is littered with mxr URLs which used to make it very easy to find a file by typing part of the name. As it stands all those URLs are broken.
