Greywolf, so your use case for wanting to know the Firefox version 
number is that you're looking for some add-on? Can you say more about 
that? How does the Firefox version number help you when you're looking 
for some add-on? Also, where you looking for that add-on? At 
addons.mozilla.org? From within the Firefox Add-ons Manager? Out on the 
Web somewhere?

I think if you can help us understand your use case, you can add real 
value to this discussion.

Also, you say "but not otherwise." Does that mean that other than when 
you're looking for some add-on you do not open the About window or you 
do not care what version you're on?
