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.
