User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10_6_4; en-us) AppleWebKit/533.16 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/5.0 Safari/533.16
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; en-GB; rv:1.9.2.3) Gecko/20100401 Firefox/3.6.3

The what's new page was displayed on first launch of Firefox 3.6.3 after 3.6.6 had already been released.

Reproducible: Didn't try



Expected Results:  
Would have expected the recommendation to update Firefox with no mention of Adobe Flash

No more whatsnew pages with silent updates in the rapid release process + page has entirely changed in the last year, marking wontfix
