MCF18: Dodging a bullet
Since the previous post in this series, mobile-config-firefox has seen not one, but two releases:
- Oliver Smith: "mobile-config-firefox 4.5.0 is out…"
- Oliver Smith: "less than 10 days after the last release --- happy to announce that mobile-config-firefox 4.6.0 is out:…"
In part, this due to me not noticing prior to the first release that the breakage I had observed with Firefox Nightly would come and hit with the Firefox 137 release.
