incorrect version number in about page

[mukesh agrawal]

Binary package hint: mozilla-firefox

the version number inside the firefox graphic on the about page is '1.9'. the build identifier, however, says Firefox/3.0. see attached screenshot.

You are right. Very amusing.

I tried to duplicate this, but mine appears as Firefox 3.0. This occurs when you select Help > About Mozilla Firefox right?

[Connor Imes (ckimes)]

This appears when you navigate to the URL "about:", without quotes. Setting Importance to low.

Ah, I see... this is the same as Help > About Firefox, though.

Help -> About Mozilla Firefox is different from the about: page. This bug only affects the 'about:' page. (Help -> About Mozilla Firefox correctly displays version 3.0).
