Installing Firefox 3.0.4 source

The problem with Firefox on CentOS 5.2 and Ubuntu 8.10 is that the version displayed wrongly for the About command. It showed 1.9b3 instead of 3.0...

Posting the bug in CentOS, the next day K Singh reported fix.

Posting the bug in Ubuntu, no immediate positive response.

I am running through the source. If anyone also wants to work on this, here are the steps to get the Ubuntu/Debian source.

1. Download.
   cd ~
   sudo apt-get source firefox
   
2. Extract the source.
   cd firefox-3.0-3.0.4+nobinonly
   sudo mkdir mozilla
   sudo chown oscc.oscc mozilla
   tar -xjvf xulbrowser-3.0.4-source.tar.bz2
   
3. Compile and run from the mozilla directory
