app.update.url.manual does indeed take users to http://nightly.mozilla.org:

Attachment: This should do it

This is my first patch for Firefox. I changed http://nightly.mozilla.org/ to http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/channel/. Or is there a more specific page about Aurora?

I don't believe that the dialog should use a preference.  Suppose I use Aurora for now.  But I then switch that profile to the 6.0 beta.  Now should the dialog continue to use a link for Aurora?  I don't think so.  It should provide a link for the beta.

These are the _default_ prefs, which are included in the app. So if you switch from Aurora to Beta, the default pref value will change as well. This pattern is used extensively throughout Firefox branding.

Pushed to mozilla-inbound:
 http://hg.mozilla.org/integration/mozilla-inbound/rev/61224f22f178
(not sure if we want this on the current aurora/beta trains; if so, patch will need approval to land there)

Anders: Thanks for the patch! For future patches, it'd be great if you could set up the patch to include a commit message & author name, as described here:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Mercurial_FAQ#How_can_I_generate_a_patch_for_somebody_else_to_check-in_for_me.3f
(In this case, I added that data before landing the patch.)

and all the updates were made perfectly, all on the Aurora channel. 

I have also updated Nightly on Windows 7 x86 from
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:6.0a1) Gecko/20110414 Firefox/6.0a1 to
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:10.0a1) Gecko/20111003 Firefox/10.0a1
and also made the update on Win XP, Mac OS 10.6 and Ubuntu 11.04 x86 and everything worked as expected

Considering this, setting resolution to Verified Fixed.
