User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b4) Gecko/20050908 (No IDN) Firefox/1.4
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b4) Gecko/20050908 (No IDN) Firefox/1.4

I went to uninstall 1.5 beta 1 and noticed in the Add/Remove Programs that the
current version shown was 1.4.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to Start > Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs
2. Scroll down to Mozilla Firefox
3. In Firefox, click Help > About Mozilla Firefox

Actual Results:  
I noticed the version number in Add/Remove Programs was not what was installed.

Expected Results:  
The Add/Remove Programs entry for Firefox should be the same as the About dialog
in Firefox.

1.5b1 is branded internally as 1.4 so the automatic update system will be able
to upgrade to 1.5b2 and the final release of 1.5.

-> INVALID

Note that the user-agent (in the same About-box) mentions "Firefox/1.4".
