I’ve been there, ugh…I find walled gardens regressive for FOSS projects.
MOZILLA FIREFOX CURRENT VERSION NUMBER PLUS
Sometimes you can end up between a rock and a hard place if you need the latest stable version plus 3rd party extensions because mozilla has decided not to allow it. The ESR version is often preferred by linux distros because it does not (yet) force a walled garden for extensions and related anti-features. This is also why Firefox offers an extended support version on the side. But I honestly don’t recall firefox breaking APIs 7+ times every year, more like once every couple of years when they change/retire interfaces. Going by this breaking version number logic, it would suggest the breakages have been accelerating, haha. PS C:\> Get-OnlineVerFirefox.Version numbers are bumped fast for exactly the reason of breaking changes. You can portions of the output as passthrough variables, etc. Write-Verbose -Message '$Quiet was specified. $swobject.Download_URL_X86 = $FirefoxDownloadX86 $swobject.Download_URL_X64 = $FirefoxDownloadX64 If ($swObject.Online_Version -ne 'UNKNOWN')
$swObject | Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name 'ERROR' -Value $message $message = $("Line " -f $_.InvocationInfo.ScriptLineNumber, $_.ssage) Write-Verbose -Message "Error accessing the below URL: `n $URI" $swObject.Online_Version = $FirefoxVersion $FirefoxDownloadX86 = "" + $FirefoxVersion + "/win32/en-US/Firefox%20Setup%20" + $FirefoxVersion + ".exe" $FirefoxDownloadX64 = "" + $FirefoxVersion + "/win64/en-US/Firefox%20Setup%20" + $FirefoxVersion + ".exe" $FirefoxDate = (Invoke-WebRequest '' -UseBasicParsing | ConvertFrom-Json) | select -ExpandProperty $FirefoxVersion $FirefoxVersion = Invoke-WebRequest $uri -UseBasicParsing | ConvertFrom-Json | select -ExpandProperty LATEST_FIREFOX_vERSION Write-Verbose -Message "Attempting to pull info from the below URL: `n $URI" $swObject = New-Object -TypeName PSObject -Property $hashtable Be sure to use any piece or section of it if it will help you. This will give you the current version of Firefox, release date and direct URL for each architecture. I had previously created such a script using FileHippo as the central point, but I wanted to try my hand at something a bit more challenging.
I've been working on a few PowerShell scripts to pull version info from vendor websites whose third party products I use. Or decrement from to which is the penultimate row Use for the first row FIREFOX NIGHTLY 56.0a1 and increment for each next row. (value) as its the last row you can request the last element in a PowerShell array using The Json has a Name field and Value field and the the last row contains the LATEST_FIREFOX_VERSION and 54.0.1 This needs to be converted from a JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) formatted string to a custom PSCustomObject. The Invoke-WebRequest cmdlet sends the HTTPS request to return the Json file "LATEST_FIREFOX_RELEASED_DEVEL_VERSION": "55.0b8", Solution for PS Version 3 onwards $ff = Invoke-WebRequest "**" | ConvertFrom-Json
