User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.0) Gecko/20020607
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.0) Gecko/20020607

Since the linux rpm files for 1.1 contain a 1.0 release candidate I tried
downloading mozilla-i686-pc-linux-gnu-1.1-sea.tar.gz. Downloaded and installed
twice, same results. The gz file contains Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686;
en-US; rv:1.0.0) Gecko/20020607.

Reproducible: Always

Expected Results:  
Expected version 1.1.

Where do you download from? (full URL)
I had the sea.tar.gz version of 1.1 installed, and it was mozilla 1.1.
Are you sure you don't have multiple installations of Mozilla there?

I downloaded the file mozilla-i686-pc-linux-gnu-1.1-sea.tar.gz once using the
link on http://www.mozilla.org/releases/ and once using the link on the
http://www.mozilla.org/ home page. The file was downloaded to its own
subdirectory. I used tar zxvf mozilla-i686-pc-linux-gnu-1.1-sea.tar.gz to unpack
the file which created the mozilla-installer directory. I changed to the
mozilla_installer directory and, as root with a umask of 022, ran
./mozilla-installer. Mozilla started and went to the www.mozilla.org/start/ page
which gave me the message

"Hey! You're using an old version of Mozilla. We can really use your help
testing Mozilla 1.1 Download it now! Thanks!"

I then used the Help->About Mozilla to get the version string which is:

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.0) Gecko/20020607

what do you get if you create an additional test profile and use this profile ?

no blocker

Good advise. By renaming .mozilla in my home directory to another name and
letting mozilla convert an OLD Netscape 4 profile mozilla shows the correct version.

Then I had to copy my bookmarks, address book, remake my mail accounts,
correcting the outgoing smtp servers (I use more than one) and copying the pop
mail folders.

It would have been much simpler if mozilla had just updated what it needed to
update in my .mozilla directory. If it can convert an OLD OLD Netscape 4 profile
it should be to handle converting a mozilla 1.0 profile.

no, you must have an useragent override string in your prefs file.
search the line useragent_override (?) in the file profile/prefs.js or
profile/user.js

The easy way to create a new profile is if you run "mozilla -profilemanager" and
create an additional test profile. This is just a fast test.

I'll check in the prefs.js. After creating a new profile, the correct version is
shown.
