Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox

The ‘about:’ page in Firefox displays the Gecko revision (1.9.0.1) instead of the browser version (3.0.1) under the main logo.

I tried to verify the bug is with Ubuntu rather than upstream, as a friend using the official Firefox build on Vista does not appear to have it.

The only difference is line 66, where ‘<p id="version">&about.version; 1.9.0.1</p>’ occurs

Description: Ubuntu 8.04.1

Thank you for your bugreport. Since this seems to be an issue with
version 3 of the firefox browser, I'm reassigning the package.
