    Update article title if Windows S Mode also applies to Windows 11. There's a pending revision for that (Comment: removed win 10 specific text/links).

    Edit: I made another revision to the article, since Firefox is now available on the Microsoft Store (related KB article: Download Firefox on Windows from the Microsoft Store) but Firefox installation on Windows in S mode is not supported. See bug 1736847 comment 13 and bug 1741539 for details.

    Microsoft's article Windows 10 and Windows 11 in S mode FAQ refers to "Windows 10 in S mode" and "Windows 11 in S mode" so I would change the article title from "Windows 10 S won't let me install Firefox" to the following: Windows in S mode won't let me install Firefox

    I'll wait for feedback.

    Microsoft's article [https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/windows-10-and-windows-11-in-s-mode-faq-851057d6-1ee9-b9e5-c30b-93baebeebc85 Windows 10 and Windows 11 in S mode FAQ] refers to "Windows 10 in S mode" and "Windows 11 in S mode" so I would change the article title from "Windows 10 S won't let me install Firefox" to the following: '''Windows in S mode won't let me install Firefox''' I'll wait for feedback.
