I have a project on SourceForge that I haven't touched in 2-3 years. Its SourceForge listing says it was updated within the past month. Weird. The files have not been changed.

Are you sure? It says version 38.0.5, which is the same as what I'm running right now.

I think there's a difference between "latest version" and "latest release". If an admin forgets to update the release pointer, I guess it's possible for that to get stale. Regardless, SF should absolutely not hijack any projects, let alone ones that have pushed new binaries in the last few months (even if they're not releases).

It says 30.0 for me.

On Windows 8.1, I also get offered 38.0.5, and its checksum matches that of the normal 38.0.5 en-US installer from https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/

I see 8.0.1 and get to download that.

Firefox 8.0.1?

Yes, it's offering Firefox 8.0.1 to me also. Maybe that's the latest version they've "mirrored" for Linux?
