You are correct, I'm on ESR apparently, I wonder how that happened. This install goes back nearly a decade, probably grandfathered in to ESR somehow.

Looks like that's coming in Firefox 117 (we're at 115 currently).

what does it even matter. Just ignore it.
- Comment on If bullshit jobs are *really* bullshit, how do businesses justify the expense? 1 year ago:
Society isn't really good at knowing what it requires. And sometimes it's better to be cautious. Also capitalism breaks down in certain markets, one of which is the "job market".
Any market that involves a lot of players and little oversight will get manipulated like crazy, including the job market. Employers try to counter that, but in the end the people that are best at getting hired for a job get that job, not the people that are best at doing that job. How could it not be?
And that includes the jobs of the people that do the hiring. So it's a market that's rife with inefficiencies.

It's not just that the person would be expensive. Systems like that require system specific knowledge. So it's possible that it would take an outsider 3 months of study to get to the point where they can fix an issue properly in 5 minutes.
You can't make a baby in 1 month with 9 mothers. Some tasks just have an upfront cost and SOME IT automation jobs are like that.
And yes, you can try and do bodge job after bodge job "just to keep it going". And that works for some time. But eventually the small mistakes end up causing large outages. And then you need someone that can piece together how the small issues cause big outages.
