As always with new releases, they messed up the download link. The big 3.5 button points to 3.0.11 and users will have to search their correct version at the localization page http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
But now, we all can hope videos playable with Free Software (and not patent-encumbered) will gain market share!

The download button works for me. My problem is the instant crash when trying to play the video on the start page which is not a good user experience.

No crash here, it worked fine.

The crash seems to be Windows-only. In Linux, video playback is stable as far as I can see.

The crash is video-specific.

This one plays fine on 64-bit Vista Ultimate: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/video/

This one crashes on the same: http://mozilla.seanmartell.com/OGV/

Both videos work fine with 64-bit Firefox in Linux.

Works for me. If there IS still a problem, I hope it's tracked down and solved.
