I ran "apt-get upgrad" in December and according to the log I got
firefox-3.0 3.0.5+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.1 installed.

At that time the "About" box in Firefox 3 said:

  Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.0.1) Gecko/2008071719
  Ubuntu/8.04 (hardy) Firefox/3.0.5

Yesterday I ran "apt-get upgrade" again and got
xulrunner-1.9 1.9.0.1+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.2 installed.

Now the "About" box in Firefox 3 says:

  Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.0.5) Gecko/2008121621
  Ubuntu/8.04 (hardy) Firefox/3.0.5

This means: I had upgraded firefox, but not xulrunner-1.9.

Problem: The fact that apt allows updating Firefox without updating Gecko leaves me with all the
security holes and the perception that they're fixed.
