(Whiteboard: [q3 sprint 5]) 

STR:
  1. Run Firefox Nightly. Assume you don't have Firefox Release installed.
  2. Go to mozilla.org, and follow the links to Firefox and Desktop,
     landing at https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/desktop/
  3. The page there shows a green checkmark and says "Your Firefox is up
     to date". There's no download link for Firefox Release in sight.

Eventually, by following the links "Need help with anything?" -> "Install and update" -> "Install Firefox on Linux" -> "Firefox download page" (links to http://www.getfirefox.com/) -> "Want a fresh copy?", I was able to find a download link for Firefox Release, but I think this was way more difficult than it should have been.

Suggested resolution:
  If a user visits https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/desktop/ or
  http://www.getfirefox.com/ and they are on a channel other than
  Release, point this out and offer them a link to download Release
  (and other channels if appropriate).

Oops sorry, this isn't a duplicate as it relates to a different page (/firefox/new/desktop/). Re-opening, but we'll hopefully be fixing this very shortly too.
