It\'s a major testing lab. How does that make you feel?

Not sure what rev was present pre- 103.0.2 , only that the specific rev was allowed to install itself on the 1st of the month. The previous rev DID work on Newark.
I normally dismiss notices of updates out-of-hand, but was trying to

I would suggest the ESR line.
