The following URLs used to have release notes for old beta versions of Firefox for mobile, but now return 404:

Hey Christian - any idea what's happening here? Would be nice to have these links function to keep a record somewhere.

Christian, did you figure out what the issue was?  If so, can you fix the links so I can close this bug?  Thank you.

Ah, I thought someone else broke these but it was me.

Fixed in r94374, pushed live in r94376.

FWIW, the same issue was happening with old desktop beta release notes as well. I made the redirect not happen for anything less than or equal to 4.0b##, which lets the request pass through to the old files instead of being redirected to a generic #.#beta page. It should work for older versions like 2.0.0b## already, as those forms aren't matched by the redirect regex (as it is only looking for modern [major].[minor]b[some number]).
