Comment(by h8a14i20QH):

 I'd like to add that the version number displayed should be that of the
 bundle as a whole, instead of the current version of Firefox. So, for the
 current version: "2.2.35-10", followed by platform and architecture where
 appropriate, instead of "12". At the moment a "Get Info…" in OS X on the
 bundle as a whole reveals the version as "1.0", which is terribly
 uninformative.  "About…" for Vidalia reveals the version as 2.2.35, so the
 architecture (in my case, 64-bit Intel) and "-10" are missing.

 So, as it stands, it doesn't appear to be possible for a user to query the
 current version of their TorBrowserBundle.  Seeing as TorBrowser is
 probably the aspect that most users are going to interact with most, it
 makes sense to make the current version of the bundle available in its
 "About" window.
