Go to START--SYSTEM- update/ package manager. (In Kubuntu the update and 
package manager has the name 'Adept'. In Gnome, I don't know.)
However it may be, after giving in your password and opening the update/ 
package manager, you will see a list of all the software available in 
the repository. Moreover, you will see what has been installed on your 
computer and what not. Look for 'Firefox', and right-click on it one 
time. Than choose the option 'details'. Than you will see which version 
REALLY is running on your PC right now. Nasty detail: sometimes, the 
help programme of 'Firefox', 'Thunderbird' or any other piece of 
software indicates an earlier version than the one you are actually 
running! Via the update manager, you can see which version you are 
running really!

Respectfully Yours,


Bas.
