This isn't an ftp linking error, the download is the correct package. The package refers to the wrong update channel though (nightly-esr10).

O.k. If this not is a nightly build, its  start home page does not exist
http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/10.0.3/firstrun/
and release notes are missing.

That's expected until closer to release time.

AFAIK it is quite uncommon for Mozilla to have non-releases downloadable from the "release" directory. We have a spider running downloading releases from "release". How do we discriminate releases from non-releases? 

Testers would download it from nightly, this is o.k. for me.

This is a bug, it was unintentional.
