ff3.6.9 reporting as 2016

I have still no clue what I did wrong, but my ffp 369 reports sometimes a being a version 2.016 or so.

I have deleted the folder and installed the ff 369 completely fresh, managed to run the installer on one of my computers finally.

But when I click an help/about, the windows which opens still tells me the right version 3.6.9, but at the bottom, after the text mozilla, gecko, there is 2.0.16

In the mozilla addons repository, some addons refuse to install or update, they tell me this addon is not for the version 2016, I have to upgrade the FF itself first.

On the local installed version, all the infos in the about window are correct on the other hand, it reports as:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; de;
rv:1.9.2.9) Gecko/20100824 Firefox/3.6.9

I first thought, that the problem might be caused by updating and updating for long time, but was surprised to see that even a completely freshly installed copy of FFP does the same thing.

silly question, but have you done a fresh download as well as a fresh install?

On the local installed version, all the infos in the about window are correct on the other hand, it reports as:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; de;

yes

that is my surprise, I did fresh download and then deleted the folder and started all over.

The local installation and the portable one seem otherwise to be same, only the local one is from the normal mozilla installer.

The local one is german, the portable one is english.
