Seven step Plan:
===============

First Step: Move it to a less known place. (Help->Troubleshooting)
Second Step: Wait for the turmoil to die down.
Third Step: Move it further to a more desolate place.
                (Help->about:support->Version_Number)
Fourth Step: Wait for the turmoil to die down.

Fifth Step: Move it to about:config->version_number
Sixth Step: Wait for turmoil to die down.

Seventh Step: Remove said reference in about:config.
              What version #?  I don't see a version #.
              Do you? Nope.
              There. That settles it. No version #.

Simpler Plan:
============
First Step : Move it to a less known place. (Help-Troubleshooting)
Second Step: Remove from less known place and put it in /dev/null.

            Mission Accomplished.  No more version #.
