256700 - Bad Firefox version in the about: page

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Met - Martin Hassman]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; cs-CZ; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040803 Firefox/0.9.3
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; cs-CZ; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040803 Firefox/0.9.3

In the about: page of Firefox 0.9.3 is bad version "Firefox 1.7"

It is because of the code:
document.getElementById("mozlink").firstChild.appendData(navigator.userAgent.match(/rv:([^;)]+)/)[1]);

which extract from the UA-string e.g.:
"Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; cs-CZ; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040803
Firefox/0.9.3"

the "1.7" version.

You can change the regexp or change to string to the "Firefox based on Mozilla 1.7".

Could this be caused by the localization?

Ooops, you have true. I have never imagined, that about: page is part of the
localization.

Pavel> We have Mozilla about: page in the Czech Firefox - this is the problem.
