I see that this has been a recurring issue on each release. Should we add this as part of (sort of) SOP during each release cycle?

The default for Firefox desktop articles viewed in other browsers is still at version 67. Roland, can you make the change? Firefox 69 is scheduled for release next week.

Can you give more details on what the expected behaviour is? Were other bugs filed for previous releases?

(In reply to madalina from comment #4)

Can you give more details on what the expected behaviour is? Were other bugs filed for previous releases?

Expected behavior: Articles viewed in other browsers should display "show for" content for the current version of Firefox. Additionally, the version picker should allow support for other Firefox versions, from the latest/previous ESR through the current beta version at a minimum - see https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/forums/knowledge-base-articles/711388#post-67193 on the ESR versions.
To Joni: Can you confirm?

Thanks, Roland.
I checked the KB article https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/password-manager-remember-delete-change-and-import in Google Chrome and the Firefox version now defaults to 68.
