I am running firefox 3.5 (it even says in the about menu) but my useragent says I am running 3.0.7.

Reproducible: Always

1. Open Browser
2. Click Help > About Mozilla Firefox
3. Note that it says I am running 3.5 yet the user agent says 3.0.7
Actual Results:  
The user agent reads "Firefox/3.0.7"

Expected Results:  
The user agent should read "Firefox/3.5"

I am running Arch Linux.

about:config in the address bar and type useragent in the filter. right click
and choose reset on any bold entries. Extensions or distro builds can cause
trouble with this on occasion.

If this happens in a clean Firefox profile by default under Arch Linux, then please report this to them.
