ome Assistant reports "This browser is too old" after a recent update

[giabett]

Hello,

I'm using Firefox in a Docker container to access Home Assistant through a remote browser interface.

Everything was working correctly until a recent Home Assistant update. Since then, Home Assistant displays the following message:

"This browser is too old to run Home Assistant."

Other websites, such as Google and YouTube, still work correctly.

The setup uses an old iPad 2 as a remote VNC client. Firefox itself runs inside the Docker container, not on the iPad.

I would like to know:

1. Is there any possibility of updating the Firefox version included in the Docker image?
2. Would it be possible to provide a newer Firefox version while maintaining compatibility with older VNC clients?
3. Is there any workaround to make the current setup compatible with the latest Home Assistant frontend?

I understand that maintaining compatibility with older hardware can be challenging, but I would appreciate any suggestions or advice.

Thank you for your work on this project.

Home Assistant needs Firefox 98 or later. The latest image has Firefox 151. Pull jlesage/firefox:latest and create the container again.

Try to use the latest image with -p 5900:5900, and connect from the iPad with a VNC app, not the web page.
