[Bug 274812] [NEW] Firefox 3.0.3 (Beta?) pushed/installed through update manager

[komputes]

Public bug reported:

This is pretty low priority but thought I would report the incident. I
was prompted by update manager to update Firefox yesterday. While
updating, Firefox started coming up with error messages and was rendered
unusable, when I rebooted and used the newly installed Firefox, the
first page I am directed to is http://en-us.www.mozilla.com/en-
US/firefox/3.0.3/whatsnew/

This page says that I am beta testing Firefox. Will the entire Ubuntu
community be part of the Mozilla Beta Tester group and will be using a
beta release of Firefox? (again?) Or perhaps I don't understand
something here.

What was expected:
1) Firefox should not act differently if being used while updating (making the browser unusable).
2) Not to be brought to a page that says "Thanks for helping us beta test Firefox 3.0.3" (stable releases - ff is everyday software)
