Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

I am using firefox 3.0.7+nobinonly-0ubuntu1 on jaunty.

If I type "about:" into the url bar, it tells me that the version of Firefox is 1.9.0.7, which is incorrect. (I believe it is the version of the underlying mozilla, not Firefox itself). However, if you go to About under the Help menu, it displays the correct version.

I just downloaded the official Firefox 3.0.7 tarball, and it displays the version correctly in both places. This leads me to believe that it is an Ubuntu-specific bug.
