Comment (by brade):

 This is an interesting idea. Mark and I wonder if we can just add another
 version part instead of multiplying the last part of the Firefox version
 by 100, e.g., Tor Browser based on Firefox 90.0 would use 90.0.0, the
 first TB patch would use 90.0.1, etc.  Another example: Tor Browser with a
 third patch and based on Firefox 91.0b1 would use 91.0b1.3.  We are not
 sure which scheme is the best choice, but it looks like Mozilla's version
 comparison code can handle any number of version parts.
