Confirmed by five different users. Here's a quick jsFiddle http://jsfiddle.net/HdW5H/ for testing.

On further research, $.browser.version is actually supposed to be returning the current version of the browser rendering engine (and not the version of the browser itself). This is correct with respect to FF4 as it's using Gecko 2.0 (thus 2.0 as the output).

If you need to check on browser version itself, try out http://jsfiddle.net/HdW5H/2/. We'll update the docs to ensure it's clearer with respect to what $.browser.version actually does.

Closing as this does what it claims in the docs.
