The link "Read More about Gecko" on the "Gecko is Gecko" page at
<http://geckoisgecko.org/> is a link to a Wikipedia article about Gecko,
which was updated less than two weeks ago. You can edit that Wikipedia
to eliminate obsolete information. The other links at "Gecko is Gecko"
-- "How to feature-sniff instead of browser-sniff" and "How to properly
sniff for a version of Gecko" -- are likely still relevant.
The page "User:Sardisson/Gecko is Gecko" at
<https://wiki.mozilla.org/User:Sardisson/Gecko_is_Gecko> was last
updated a little over four years ago. As indicated by the URI, this is
a Mozilla wiki. You can obtain a logon to update this wiki.
