Mac App store links should work like iOS app store links - i.e. display a summary page then open the correct item in the store (this is in itunes for ios apps, mac app store for mac apps)

When the url above is viewed in Safari, it works as expected.

In Firefox (4b8), it adds a top section to the page saying you need Mac OS 10.6.6, and clicking the button takes you to the general mac app store page.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Open a mac app store link such as the one above
Actual Results:  
The mac app store is not launched, and the app is not shown.

Expected Results:  
The app to be displayed in the mac app store.
