Bug in Firefox about: page?

I was checking if there were more about: pages in Firefox 3 besides about:mozilla,about:config and about:robots, and ended about finding this.

Firefox about:
(click image to enlarge) [Ignore the part that says Vista, its just my wallpaper :( ]

Although the text says Version Firefox/3.0, the image shows version 1.9.

I’m using the latest Firefox version in Ubuntu Hardy Heron’s repositories.
(Looks like its fine in the windows version)

Anyone else getting this? (just type “about:” in your address bar)

First Day at College….

So Today was my first formal day at college (St. Aloysius College). On thursday and Friday, we had these “orientation” classes where they told us about the college, rules, and some career advice. So I went by auto, but the driver took an unfamiliar route and dropped me at one of the numerous entrances. I heard that we have about 12,000 students in our campus (which includes everything from first standard school to post graduation and PhD). Without much trouble I found my college building and reached my class.

I was seated at the first bench corner since it was empty (nobody likes to be on the first bench :( ) and was later sent to the last bench. We had only 3 classes today – Basic Accounting, Principles of Management and Indian Constitution. Funny thing was that we mistook our Basic Accounting Professor for a student and nobody stood to wish him (typical movie scene?). I am yet to visit the famous chapel which is in our campus

After I came home, I watched a movie and then took a long 5 hour nap O_O
