After just installing Firefox (earlier download from another computer) is was very suprised that the installtion page (http://en-us.www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/2.0.0.3/whatsnew/) still claims to be the lastest version.

Because I already updated several other computers, I knew that wasn't correct, but someone else can be tricked.

Maybe it's wise to create a special 'update' page which tells the user that a newer version is available and that all older version (sym)links to that update page (2.0.0.4, 2.0.0.5 and 2.0.0.6 to start with).


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Just install any previous version of firefox.
2. Concratiolations, you've updated to the lastest versiob of firefox!


Actual Results:  
Incorrect claim of latest version

Expected Results:  
A concrats page that tells the user their is a newer version available.

A side from that this is a 'cosmetic' thing, it can lead to a vulnarable firefox client. So I kept it at 'normal'. With a normal installtion this shouldn't be a critial issue, because after some time firefox should notify the user about a newer version.
