Verified usage

get_version

✓ from mozversion import get_version

✗ import mozversion

get_version is the primary function; importing module directly requires mozversion.get_version()

Retrieves version information from a Mozilla application binary.

from mozversion import get_version # Replace with path to your Firefox binary or directory binary = '/usr/lib/firefox/firefox' try: version_info = get_version(binary=binary) print(version_info) except Exception as e: print(f'Error: {e}')

Debug

Known issues

gotchaget_version() expects either a binary path or a directory containing the application. If you pass a directory, ensure it contains application.ini and platform.ini.

fix

Always pass the path to the executable binary (e.g., firefox) for best results.

affects: all

deprecatedThe library is no longer actively maintained. It may not work with the latest Mozilla application versions (Firefox 60+).

fix

Consider using mozversion-1 or parsing application.ini manually if needed.

Run pip install mozversion in your active environment.

ValueError: No application.ini or platform.ini found

The provided path does not point to a valid Mozilla application directory or the files are missing.

fix

Ensure the binary path is correct and that the binary hasn't been removed. Try passing the directory containing the binary instead.
