version
noun
Technically refers to the number of a particular Firefox release. Can also be used interchangeably with "release." "Release" does not have a good equivalent in languages other English and so "version" must be used in some cases. Use "version" (sentence case, not title case) as a generic, stand-alone term: "You are using the latest version of Firefox." Avoid referring to the numerical marker of that version ("Firefox Nightly 66.0a1") as this is too technical and unnecessarily detailed for users. Nghtly builds have the same version number for 6 weeks at a time so the version number itself is not specific.
This policy is only available on the Extended Support Release (ESR) version
