I have commandline tools that gets latest version of firefox release by screen scrapping the following link:

https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/releases/

My question is how reliable it is? Are there any better way to do this? Are there any plans to change the website (Dom) in the near future?

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks

hi, though it's down at the moment, https://product-details.mozilla.org/firefox_versions.json would be the right resource to query normally...
