 Replying to [comment:1 h8a14i20QH]:

 > So, as it stands, it doesn't appear to be possible for a user to query
 the current version of their TorBrowserBundle.

 A released TBB's version should be shown in the first line of
 Docs/changelog inside every bundle.  That's where the Tor Short User
 Manual tells users to look for the version number (to defend themselves
 against version-rollback attacks; see also #2340).

 You can also find the TBB version in [about:config], as the value of
 ‘torbrowser.version’.  See also #5194.
