Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

Ubuntu 9.04

When clicking Help -> Release Notes, Firefox takes you to the release notes of Ubuntu 8.10 instead of Ubuntu 9.04.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.
I can confirm this issue on my ubuntu 9.04 and on the LiveCD.

the app.releaseNotesURL on about:config point to http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/810

for those who want to correct this now you can put this on a terminal :
* for all the futur users
echo 'user_pref("app.releaseNotesURL", "http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/904");' >> /etc/firefox-3.0/profile/prefs.js
* for you actual user
echo 'user_pref("app.releaseNotesURL", "http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/904");' >> /home/$USER/.mozilla/firefox/*.default/prefs.js

Thanks

Since an applications release notes should refer to the application instead of the distribution, this is a duplicate of bug 274605.
