I don't know how easy this is, but it seems like it should be. Other vendors do this to and it's hard to understand why it's ignored.
When I set the FF msi to be deployed, I always choose "Advanced" rather than just "Assigned" just so I can change "Mozilla Firefox (en-US)" to "Mozilla Firefox 3.5.2 (en-US)". Alternatively, set the version number that is shown in the version column to "3.5.2" rather than just "3.5". Either one would allow us to know what version is currently installed at a glance of the Group Policy Management window.

Thanks for what you do, keep up the good work.
Can you please label the version in the MSI better?

I use ORCA. I change the ProductName in the Property table.
Example:
ProductName = Mozilla Firefox (en-US)
changed to:
ProductName = Mozilla Firefox 3.5.2 (en-US)
It helps my life out a lot. So, I guess I would call this a beneficial suggestion to have this standard practice.
