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)

Sooooo… I helped set a World Record!

So Firefox Download Day ended and there were over 8 million downloads and I was one of them :D
Like I said I would, I only downloaded the windows version. Looked more like an unintended DDoS when the clock struck 10:30 PM here in India. So…

When Ubuntu Hardy Heron released with its default browser as Firefox3 (pre/rc version), I thought it sucked thanks to tons of unsupported extensions/add-ons (and no good looking themes :-P ) and stuck to Firefox 2. But a couple of weeks back I tried out Firefox 3, Well Swiftfox (an optimized build of Mozilla Firefox for Linux) actually and was amazed by the progress it had made. All of the extensions I used (except one) were now supported and it was running faster than ever.

Since it isn’t clear if getting Firefox3 through your Linux Distro‘s package manager would count in their Record Attempt, I’ll just download the windows version :-D
