not a problem but a query. Firefox has just updated and is showing euballot-1.1 but no mention of GB. what is euballot? why is it showing?
This is a query. Firefox automatically updated. When I look under update history it shows no update.
Under Help clicked on about to see what version. Still showing 3.6.13 but no mention of en-GB. Instead has Mozilla Firefox EU euballot-1.1
What is euballot? Why no en-GB?

The update you got is the correct update, you will have the same version if you downloaded the full setup file.
The EU ballot relates to an agreement that Microsoft reached with the European Union so that Microsoft would comply with EU anti-trust laws. Microsoft historically had a dominance in the browser market as Windows has IE pre-installed. The agreement led to Microsoft creating a a "browser ballot" system which would see its users presented with a page advertising other browsers.
I believe Mozilla use the EU ballot downloads as a method of tracking how many additional installs occurred as a result of the agreement.
