I dl ff 3.0.3b which should have a better name by date eg. ff 20080211. It tells me I should read the release notes. I click and get an offer to dl ff 2.0.more nonsense.12. It does not tell anywhere that I should just give pathname/firefox in order to start it.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Just dl the beta and click trying to find out how to start it.
2.
3.
Actual Results:
I had to go to google and verify that it started the usual Linux way.
Expected Results:
When I click I should get information specific to this OS and this release.
I know you are busy but giving one size fits all that does not tell users how to do something is the next worst thing to not making improvements.

Closing this, don't think this is relevant now with the rapid release cycle.
If you still think this is an issue, please add a new comment with any relevant explanations.
