When the stub installer encounters a download problem, it redirects the user to:
https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/installer-help/?channel=aurora
where the user can download the full non-stub version of Firefox release and beta. However, it still points to the stub version of Firefox Aurora, resulting in a potential "circular dependency" after re-download:
https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-mozilla-aurora/firefox-19.0a2.en-US.win32.installer-stub.exe
It should point to the following link instead:
https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-mozilla-aurora/firefox-19.0a2.en-US.win32.installer.exe
Thanks to Rob for helping to look at this.

I'm able to replicate the issue using an Internet Explorer user agent on https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/installer-help/?channel=aurora

Is this a Windows-only issue or other operating systems? I check the analytics and the page gets only about 45 page views a day and almost none of them are coming from IE browsers.

It is a Windows only issue and it is not an IE only issue. If I visit
https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/installer-help/?channel=aurora
with Firefox nightly
the download link for release goes to
https://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-18.0&os=win&lang=en-US
which is the full installer and is the latest
the download link for beta goes to
https://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-18.0b7&os=win&lang=en-US
which is the full installer and is the latest
the download link for aurora goes to
https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-mozilla-aurora/firefox-19.0a2.en-US.win32.installer-stub.exe
which is the stub installer instead of the full installer and is not the latest. It should be
https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-mozilla-aurora/firefox-20.0a2.en-US.win32.installer.exe

Please note that this isn't about whether or not Windows users visit this page in small or great numbers. It is about that these links should always point to the latest full installer for the channel.

Agree. We just have other fires going on right now and we need to know if we should drop everything to do this now. Just using data to help determine where we should spend our time right this minute. I agree that it should be done regardless.

I think it is ok to put this in the queue of work to be done. If you point me to the repo where these files are stored I could probably provide a patch as well.

It should be here:
https://github.com/mozilla/bedrock/blob/master/apps/mozorg/helpers/download_buttons.py
You could do a pull request and we could review the patch.
