Firefox 1.9.1.3?

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.

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"
