Help > About Firefox = the version number is there.

Hey kkwebb,

There is a KB article called Update Firefox to the latest release that should have all the info you are looking for. You can find out what version of FF you are currently using by going to the Help menu at the top left of Firefox, then choosing "About Firefox." That will not only tell you what version you are using, but it will also let you know if there is an available upgrade.

Hopefully this helps!

Why not just download the latest official version and install it?
