What I expect to happen:
When I go to Help --> Release Notes, I expect to come to a page with release
notes for Firefox.
What happened instead
Help --> Release Notes opened a page with release notes for Ubuntu. Firefox
wasn't even mentioned on the page.
This menu item exist on Firefox on both Vista and Ubuntu. At least with
Swedish locale, where the menu item is Hjälp --> Versionsfakta.
I expect Firefox to be consistent and show its own release notes, regardless
of platform. A user of Vista or Mac OS X, who comes to Ubuntu, doesn't expect
this menu item in Firefox to open release notes for Ubuntu.
It's fine to have a separate menu item with release notes for Ubuntu,
but please make it evident which one is for which product.
Since this looks like a deliberate (but bad) decision, I expect the
same behavior on Ubuntu 10.04 with Firefox 3.6, but I haven't tested
yet.
