Steps to Reproduce:
Help -> Release Notes
Actual Results:  
got the 404 error

Expected Results:  
there should be a page about Minefield 3.0a2pre
there is still no 3.0a2 release (see the "pre") and because of that there are no release notes. 

The release notes will be online when a2 is released.

I am just drawing inference here, but it seems the "pre" means it is not a release, and as such, no notes. I think the best you can expect from this one is a "WONTFIX".

Release notes for 3.0a2 (no "pre") are up, and now the nightlies point at a similar location for 3.0a3pre release notes, which gives a 404.
We don't really have any content to put at those pages... Do you at least get a page with http://www.mozilla.org/projects/minefield/?

That page does exist, but if I recall correctly, neither starting minefield after switching from another version, nor clicking "release notes" goes there anymore. It goes to a 404, as described above.

Just from looking at this, maybe we should make the Release Notes either not even exist for a pre, or to redirect to http://www.mozilla.org/projects/minefield/.
