firefox release 100

[Bit Twister]

Have you checked that your favorite web sites will still work when
firefox version gets past 99?

https://hacks.mozilla.org/2022/02/version-100-in-chrome-and-firefox/

I used http://browserspy.dk/ to get current version string and used it
with 100's by adding the following line to
~bank/.mozilla/firefox/(some random # here).default-release/user.js
user_pref("general.useragent.override", "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:100.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/100.0");
to verify my bank's web site still works for me.

After creating/modifying /user.js restart firefox and use http://browserspy.dk/
to verify change is applied then check web site(s) of interest.

Does this have the potential of a Y2K and basically someone else's lack
of vision.

there is always some stupid, Bits. Sometimes it's mine

No I haven't run your test yet. See!! that's stupid :-)

Shouldn't be a problem for those using Mageia's Firefox ESR 91.x. The
next ESR is supposed to be 102, and by then this particular problem will
likely be resolved. A more likely problem if using the ESR is that when
Firefox 100 comes out, some sites may reject the 91.x ESR as insecure
and outdated, even though it really isn't.

Either way, a user agent switching extension that makes your browser
"look" like it's Firefox 99 should be a possible workaround in most cases.
