Build ID: 20150831172306
Steps to reproduce:
I wanted to automatically download the latest version of Firefox and Thunderbird.
I tried downloading Firefox via https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/latest/win32/de
(the same applies for en_US and the according Thunderbird variants)
Actual results:
Inside the localized folders I found a setup with a filename containing the version-number. This is inadequate for scripting and makes the "latest"-folder useless for scripting access.
Expected results:
I expected a setup.exe (and setup_stub.exe) in the localized folder symlinking to the corresponding file in the same folder.
That way you can download http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/latest/win32/de/setup.exe and you'll always have the latest setup at that link.

You can use requests like these to get the latest release version:
https://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-latest&os=win&lang=de (full installer)
https://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-stub&os=win&lang=de (stub installer, windows only)
https://download.mozilla.org/?product=thunderbird-latest&os=win&lang=de (full installer, no stub)
For other platforms substitute 'os-win' with
Mac: os=osx
Linux i686: os=linux
Linux x86-64: os=linux64
For other locales look up the locale code by inspecting links on https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/.
You will still get a binary with a version in it, but this is easily worked around with commands like
wget -O setup.exe 'https://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-latest&os=win&lang=de'
