Bug Description
If you have been redirected to this page, it means that your installation of Ubuntu or a flavour failed.
If you search in the log file /var/log/syslog, you'll see messages like above:
Apr 24 00:01:40 ubuntu kernel: [ 329.409695] SQUASHFS error: zlib decompression failed, data probably corrupt
Apr 24 00:01:40 ubuntu kernel: [ 329.409704] SQUASHFS error: squashfs_read_data failed to read block 0x37545
This failure is usually caused by bad ISO download, corrupted install media, or device failure.
We suggest you verify your ISO download, your installation medium or use another USB stick.

The weird thing about this is that I know that my USB stick is working properly since I can burn the 16.04 LTS iso on it and complete the installation without any issues.
It also works with other iso files for other Linux distros regardless of what what version I use.
For instance, Mageia (RPM based distro forked from Mandriva) 6.1, 7, 7.1 and Cauldron (Unstable release for the upcoming version of Mageia 8).
Could be that firefox didn't download a correct iso image before I burnt it.
What is it that causes this to happen especially with Ubuntu?
