To check your firmware version, open the MBED.HTM file on your mbed Microcontroller.
Then what??? Nothing jumps out at you on the mbed.htm page so must be missing something as could not see where to find the firmware version number...
For clarification, the statement "To check your firmware version, open the MBED.HTM file on your mbed Microcontroller." was found on page http://mbed.org/handbook/Firmware-LPC1768-LPC11U24
I would suggest this text is edited to say open the mbed.htm file using a text editor to see firmware version, which is found in the line: <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; url=http://mbed.org/start?auth=....&loader=....&firmware= * FOUND HERE * &configuration=#" /> as it did not show up on my browser, when logged in or otherwise.

Hi Colin,
Yeah, that's not very clear.
What is meant to happen when you open the mbed.htm is that you are told if your firmware is out of date. If it's up to date, it doesn't say anything and arguably it should say that you have the latest firmware.
Thanks
Steve
UPDATE: Just checking, it looks like the update reminder is no longer working. I will have a look to see what needs to be done to re-enable that.

This issue still seems to be present. The site still simply says 'open the mbed.htm', but when you do there is no extra info to tell you what firmware version you have.

FYI, you can just open the MBED.HTM in a text editor (such as Notepad on Windows) and the embedded link give you the firmware ID,
eg:
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; url=http://mbed.org/start?auth=101000000000000000000002F7F036BD05a61839e14663bec9192fc7280a90ad&loader=11972&firmware=16457&configuration=4" />
means firmware is 16457
