no alternative given for obsolete variable

no alternative given for obsolete variable

[Colin Baxter]

In byte compiling a file, I'm told that

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---

`browse-url-mozilla-program' is an obsolete variable
    (as of 29.1).

--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---


There is however no indication of what to use in its place. Does anyone
know?

The Mozilla Application Suite[^1] project has been discontinued since
2006.  You should definitely stop using it any more.

The variable was changed by commit
86dc875bf590c33d255af04d4e3249db05fca65d which included the
addition to the NEWS file:

|  This support has been obsolete since Emacs 25.1.  The final version of
|  the Galeon web browser was released in September, 2008.

| +---
| +*** Support for the "Mozilla" web browser is now obsolete.
| +Note that this historical web browser is different from Mozilla
| +Firefox; it is its predecessor.
| +
|  ** Ruby Mode

|  ---

So you should (probably) look at the browse-*-firefox func-
tions and variables.
