Firefox 3.0 shows revision number in URL "about:" rather then version number

[Laurent GUERBY]

Binary package hint: firefox

Summary has it all, the text in the about: page is correct about the version, but the picture has version 1.9 :)

Thank you for reporting this issue and trying to make Ubuntu better.

Could you please indicate what version of firefox you are running? Also could you attach a screen capture of the incorrect screen?

Thanks,

Richard Seguin

My guess it's revision 1.9 as that is what we are on... but a screen snap should confirm.

Here is the text part:

The dpkg part:

Info provided

[Richard Seguin (sectech)]

Thank you for providing the information requested, but the appropriate status should be "incomplete" as a triager (myself) is currently looking into the issue. Once I have enough information the bug will be either marked "confirmed" or "invalid". If you curious on how we triage bugs and how we determine their status you can get more information here. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/HowToTriage

* Re-assigning to firefox-3.0

[Richard Seguin (sectech)]

Status confirmed. If you type: "about:" in the URL window you will see a graphic that states the version of Firefox is 1.9. I realize that we are on revision 1.9 and that is probably what it is indicating but it is confusing when trying to find the version number.

Sent up bug upstream (marked as trivial)...

Note: This was tested against RC3

This is a duplicate of bug 238983.

Thanks for you interest in mozilla upstream triage. Consider to join
#ubuntu-mozillateam and ask for the procedure we want to follow for
mozilla bugs.

Thanks again!
