"""Fetch Firefox versions with their dates from https://www.mozilla.org/.
This script is cumulative: previously found versions are kept, and eventually updated if needed. It only considers the
first MAX_VERSIONS_COUNT versions on Firefox release page because:
- it is too long to fetch them all (at least a minute usually),
- this generates too many requests to the mozilla.org servers,
- and anyway oldest versions are never updated.
Note that it was assumed that:
- the script is ran regularly enough to keep the versions up to date (once a day or week looks enough),
- the versions are listed in descending order on the page,
- new versions are always added inside in the last MAX_VERSIONS_COUNT versions.
The script will need to be updated if someday those conditions are not met."""
