1 year ago According to the Mozilla website, Firefox 111.0.1 is the most recent stable release of their browser. So, a fork based on that release is up to date.
You may be basing your expectations of a higher base version number on beta and nightly Firefox releases, or forks of the same, that are offering software for advance testing before finalizing it's form and publishing it for general audiences.
Iceraven bases itself only on stable releases of Firefox in order to be a stable browser itself. Then it adds in some of it's own Iceraven specific code and customizations and options from other browsers and versions of browsers, and makes them as accessible as possible to those who want to see what their browser can do without having to enter special codes or sign up for a Mozilla account. The idea is that you get the best of all worlds- a stable browser that also has as much in the way of options, customizations, and expandabilty as the developers have the time and the ability to pack into it.
Mozilla makes you choose between unstable versions of it's Firefox browser that offer more choices than it's stable versions, or stable versions that offer fewer choices than it's unstable versions. Iceraven takes the stable Firefox and the choices together- best of both worlds- and more, because Iceraven also does some things that no version of Firefox does. :)
Being based on the stable version of Firefox is an intentional feature, not a bug. They're keeping the browser useable and accessible, but also including all sorts of options and such for power users rather than neutering it.
