Currently there is no site that tells which version we are using of gecko until one doesn't go to about firefox section, same like about chrome or chromium.

I think this would be a great addition and there's no reason why it couldn't be done. I think the main blocker here would be the lack of easy-to-find platform features that are added to each version of Firefox.

Chrome has a very helpful Chrome platform status page which lists each version and new platform features, so picking out the new features and writing tests for them is pretty easy. Firefox has their release notes, but there's not enough in-depth information in those to generate a feature detection map.

You mean release notes that shows up when we use older version of chrome or chromium (I don't use older versions as far as 56 and get extreme red colors as if I have done some crime)?

If that is the case, try talking firefox dev team into it. They wouldn't deny this idea. And with new CEO, firefox is going to change, for better.
