Mysterious FF 5.0.1 for Linux and Windows

Hi, there.

On July 11 Mozilla released FF 5.0.1 to bring increased compatibility with Mac OS X Lion. You said:

Please note: Users on Windows and Linux do not need and will not see the update offer.


Yesterday I noticed that FF 5.0.1 for Linux and Windows are available.

Yet I can't find any credible information on the Internet what's all about. "Security Advisories for Firefox", "Mozilla Foundation Security Advisories", and "US-CERT Current Activity" pages have no mention of FF 5.0.1 for Linux and Windows at all.

Could you please shed some light about that particular and yet mysterious release?

Thanks in advance.
