neddie Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 Has anyone noticed the strange version numbers reported by Firefox on Mandriva 2010? If you go to Help->About it says 3.5 as you might expect, but if you go to "about:" in the url bar then it shows version 1.9.1.3 ?! The user agent it reports to websites contains "Mandriva Linux/1.9.1.3-2mdv2010.0 (2010.0) Firefox/3.5.3" which looks like it's the version number from xulrunner. Could this be a packaging mistake or is it intended to use the version numbers this way? Yes I know it doesn't really matter but I'm just curious.

tux99 Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 I think that's normal, if I look at the user agent strings in my web server log I see for example: "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; nl; rv:1.9.1.5) Gecko/20091102 Firefox/3.5.5" "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.0.8) Gecko/2009032802 Mandriva/1.9.0.8-1mdv2009.1 (2009.1) Firefox/3.0.8" "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.1.4) Gecko/20091105 Gentoo Firefox/3.5.4" "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.1.4) Gecko/20091030 Pardus/2009 Firefox/3.5.4" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neddie Posted December 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 Oh, ok, I hadn't spotted that 2009.1 does it too. It makes sense that Ubuntu says 9.04 and Gentoo says no version but I figured that Mandriva should say 2010.0 (or 2009 Autumn) rather than 1.9.something-2mdv - it looks like a mistake.
