Bug Description

When you press the The Release Notes menu under Help on firefox 2.0.0.6 using Gutsy it goes to http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/610. This release notes are from Ubuntu 6.10. I know that gutsy still under development and it doesn't have a release notes page, but this link should go to another location.

I have the same problem. Obviously not a big deal, but weird nonetheless, and ought to be a simple enough fix right?

This should be done in a ubufox SRU.

This should use http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes?ver=x&os=y

with x being the Ubuntu release number (7.10) and y being "ubuntu", "kubuntu", etc.

I ran

$ sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude upgrade

multiple times in Gusty with reboots in between, making sure the proposed repository is enabled and I still go to http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/610

It still takes a while until the package has built and is in the
archive.

I'm using Hardy, and this still links to the 6.10 release notes.

In my Hardy Firefox install, my "Help" > "Release Notes" points to http://en-us.www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/2.0.0.11/releasenotes/... which is uncommon for clicking that button as it usually takes me to the Ubuntu <codename> release notes.

On Hardy it currently opens http://www.ubuntu.com/download/releasenotes/804 .

I guess this is correct, even when this is just 404 page. Of course the release note is not ready yet.
If someone would put there just a placeholder, or confirm, that this is really the correct URL for the final release notes, this bug could be closed.

Yep, I confirm the above comment. I added bug #195987 against the Ubuntu website for creating the placeholder page.
