i see the same with osx downloads.

the download button links to http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/thunderbird/nightly/latest-earlybird/thunderbird-39.0a2.en-US.mac.dmg but latest-earlybird only contains builds for v41.

Fixed in r143867, due to caching it may take a moment until it the website is updated.

Looks like the link needs an update again,
but what I wonder is why is it not updated instantly like other websites :O

Unfortuantely this is a manual process, every 6 weeks. r144823

This seems broken again, for the Mac download link. Looks like it might be a build problem, though, so I submitted it as a separate bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1231043

as per comment 5 this is manual process, there is nothing new and we should let it go for a while.

Please keep on reminding me, this needs to be done once per cycle :-) r149726

Note that mac builds are missing, but the link should be correct when they are back.
