POSIX Shell functions:
(adjust as necessary)

banner() {
sep="--------------------------------------------------------------------------"
     printf "%s\n[ %s ]\n" "${sep}" "${@}"
}

latest_firefox() {
banner "Mozilla Firefox"
#curl --silent --head 'https://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-latest&os=linux64&lang=en-US' | sed -ne '/^Location:/{s=^.*/releases/==;s=/.*$==;p}'
# (requires 'jq') curl --silent 'https://product-details.mozilla.org/1.0/firefox_versions.json' | jq -r .LATEST_FIREFOX_VERSION
# (doesn't work in RHEL) perl -e 'use JSON qw/from_json/; use LWP::Simple qw/get/; my $ffv = from_json(get("https://product-details.mozilla.org/1.0/firefox_versions.json")); print "$ffv->{'LATEST_FIREFOX_VERSION'}","\n";'
curl -s https://product-details.mozilla.org/1.0/firefox_versions.json  | perl -0777 -MJSON -e '$t=from_json(<>); print "$t->{'LATEST_FIREFOX_VERSION'}","\n";'
}

latest_firefox_esr() {
banner "Mozilla Firefox-ESR (Extended Support Release)"
#---curl --silent --head 'https://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-esr-latest&os=linux64&lang=en-US' | sed -ne '/^Location:/{s=^.*/releases/==;s=/.*$==;p}'
curl -s https://product-details.mozilla.org/1.0/firefox_versions.json  | perl -0777 -MJSON -e '$t=from_json(<>); print "$t->{'FIREFOX_ESR'}","\n";'

}

latest_thunderbird() {
banner "Mozilla Thunderbird"
# curl --silent --head 'https://download.mozilla.org/?product=thunderbird-latest&os=linux64&lang=en-US' | sed -ne '/^Location:/{s=^.*/releases/==;s=/.*$==;p}'
curl -s https://product-details.mozilla.org/1.0/thunderbird_versions.json  | perl -0777 -MJSON -e '$t=from_json(<>); print "$t->{'LATEST_THUNDERBIRD_VERSION'}","\n";'
}


also...

latest_adoptopenjdk_java() {
for product in openjdk8 openjdk11 openjdk12; do
     curl -s -L 'https://api.adoptopenjdk.net/v2/latestAssets/releases/'${product}'?os=linux&arch=x64&heap_size=normal&openjdk_impl=hotspot&type=jdk' \
         | perl -0777 -mstrict -mwarnings  -MJSON -e '$t=from_json(<>); print "$t->[0]->{'''release_name'''}","\n" '
done
}


and on and on and on....
