Selecting Menu > Help > About Firefox displays the current version that is installed, and runs a check for updates. Most Firefox installations will be updated automatically using the built-in updating functionality of the browser. The releases are already on Mozilla's FTP server, and while there may be last minute changes that replace these builds with new ones, it is usually not the case.
