John, thoughts on this?

I'm leaning towards marking "won't fix", since it works the way it's designed.

Or, we could add a link to the release notes?  Not sure it's worth it.  Those release notes are easy to find with Google.

The release notes are linked to from the page as is...I think that's satisfactory enough to mark as won't fix.

Comment 4

They don't seem to be any more.

Also, Firefox 4 doesn't have any in-app links to the release notes at all.

That's the What's New page for people updating to old versions of Firefox. The correct What's New page features the release notes link and can be found at http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/3.6/whatsnew/.

You'll have to take that one up with the Fx team!
