Confirmed, not available yet.
I imaging this will probably be to rectify the FF 3.6.14 & JAVA problem that Alan Baxter reported in another topic (http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=72843.0). Though no link to any changelog found.

Mozilla Firefox 3 3.6.15 Final

Please don't hotlink to the ftp site executables.  It's not mirrored and Mozilla would appreciate it if links were made to the Firefox download page and not an unmirrored repository.
http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/

If you must link to a Mozilla repository, please link to http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/3.6.15/
It's mirrored, supports all languages and platforms, and isn't a hotlink to an exe.

That said, I'm going to wait for Mozilla to provide this one though the download page or update channel.  It may not actually be ready yet:
- http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/ is still at Fx 3.6.14
- Help > Check for Updates says there is no update for Fx 3.6.14
- There aren't any release notes for Fx 3.6.15 yet. http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/3.6.15/releasenotes/
- The bug Fx 3.6.15 is supposed to fix is not marked as fixed yet. Bug 629030 – Java JRE broken in FF 3.6.14 [pogo.com]

Do Not Tell Me about that. I just posted link from MajorGeeks.com so go tell them about this issue.

If I give some Mirror will you stop boring me?
Mirror 1: http://www.filehippo.com/download_firefox/ - Other Language
Mirror 2: http://www.majorgeeks.com/download2248.html?2011-03-04

Nice Off-topic, next time instead of being Mozilla Hero and posting off-topic, follow your personal idea and wait for what you want...

+1 I told him already and such posts linking directly to executables should be deleted without delay. The guy has nothing better to answer but "don't bore me" or "don't tell me what I have to do" etc... he'd be banned for that on many other sites, better moderated than this one.

 The guy doesn't get that user x or y might just click on his link without checking where it goes. What that guy does is totally unacceptable, and was reported.

 @ the guy doing that, whatever your answer is  ::)

If these where malicious links to infected files, I'd agree with you.
Since they aren't I think it's nice not to have to go by way of china to get the actual file that I'm looking for.
Sorry Logos but I don't see anything wrong with Omid's post.  :)

...you missed the point. Allowing such practices is an open door for anyone to register here and link to malware silently. Same goes btw for those hiding URLs behind words. in forum posts.

 You are yourself worried about Avast launching a survey link in  a browser after an uninstall, but linking directly to a program executable download doesn't matter?
