I have noticed that the fedora rpm install of mozilla (at least on fc2) does not show a major/minor version string on the help/about page. I could not verify that my recent yum upgrade to moz 1.7.2 actually worked this way.
If I'm understanding you correctly that isn't what I'm seeing. If in Mozilla I do Help -> About Mozilla I get a new window with the red Mozilla logo and next to it:
Mozilla 1.7.2 Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.2) Gecko/20040803
and then below that some copyright information.
I'm using:
$ rpm -qa | grep mozilla | sort mozilla-1.7.2-0.2.0 mozilla-chat-1.7.2-0.2.0 mozilla-devel-1.7.2-0.2.0 mozilla-dom-inspector-1.7.2-0.2.0 mozilla-j2re-1.4.2-9.1.fc2.dag mozilla-js-debugger-1.7.2-0.2.0 mozilla-mail-1.7.2-0.2.0 mozilla-nspr-1.7.2-0.2.0 mozilla-nspr-devel-1.7.2-0.2.0 mozilla-nss-1.7.2-0.2.0 mozilla-nss-devel-1.7.2-0.2.0
Mine looks like this: $ rpm -qa | grep mozilla | sort mozilla-1.7.2-0.2.0 mozilla-chat-1.7.2-0.2.0 mozilla-mail-1.7.2-0.2.0 mozilla-nspr-1.7.2-0.2.0 mozilla-nss-1.7.2-0.2.0
(I did do a command line "mozilla --version" which showed the new version.) I saw a version string with the tar.gz install and with the windows install on the help/about page. This is basically what I see on help/about for 1.7.2:
"Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux 2.2.16-22smp i686; en-US; m18) Gecko/20010110 Netscape6/6.5"
Don't see how this correlates to 1.7.2.
Are you sure you haven't installed something which sets the UA string to something other than the default, or altered your prefs.js or user.js files by hand?
I can remove the string assigned to general.useragent.override (which is my string above w/o a rv: substring in it) and I get help/about that just says "Mozilla" (a link) with no further info. When I shutdown moz and restart it the old override string comes back. My moz profile has been carried over from many moz versions and a few OS upgrades too. So should probably ask this on a mozilla list if no one here right off knows what my problem is. Thanks,
