I doubt anyone can tell you which particular version of a browser is most popular. You could do a survey, but web surveys are notoriously inaccurate. The best you can really hope for is a breakdown of percentage usage by browser (regardless of version number).

The answer is probably "the most current version" in each case.

So, for Safari, that would be 3.1.

For Firefox, that would be 2.0.0.14

For JVM, I don't know, since I have never used it.
