The update to 23.0.1 rolled out today, but the user agent string in 23.0.1
still reads Firefox/23.0
I dropped Firefox support from my product due to the bug in 23.0, and
inserted code to look for 23.0.1 and later. Now I find that the version
string is wrong.
I believe we stopped including point release numbers in UA strings some
time ago (years) due to security and fingerprinting concerns (i.e. it
would tell you if a browser has a particular security fix installed).
The browser knows it, but I'm not sure it's visible to JS directly.
We've fully unthrottled 23 now that 23.0.1 is out, so people should
update pretty quickly. Also, anyone looking at About Firefox will
cause it to immediately download.
How is an app supposed to determine if Firefox WebRTC will be functional if
it cannot use the version string?
I'm checking. You can always tell them to update if they haven't already.
You can probably check navigator.buildID (20130814* or later) if the
version is 23.0
