E.g., i'm on Windows, most of the time i get the Linux installer from this URL, and if i'm on Linux i get the Windows installer. This has been going on for at least a month, and i even added some text to my extension description to help English-speaking users find the right installer: Note: there is a bug in addons web site code that offers you a Linux installer for Windows. Please go to all previous releases link on the bottom to access the Windows installer. Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. Access https://addons.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?application=firefox&category=Image%20Browsing&numpg=10&id=790 2. If you get the right OS, wait a few hours, and access it again. 3. Actual Results: Wrong installer offered. Expected Results: Installer for user's OS is offered. This appears to confuse a lot of users.
