::: In my case, the FireFox that I run hasn't been updated (on my computer) for over three years now. So, ... no regression here. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 21:42, 6 November 2017 (UTC)^
:::: Let me explain a little further. When I use the original Leonardo HTML text (that fails), and then I see the failure(s) in parsing the HTML code, I then use (open) ''another'' Firefox session, I try to access the '''Rosetta Code''' site (https://rosettacode.org), Firefox comes back (eventually) and tells me that ''the Rosetta Code site is down or is busy, try again later''. I concluded that the Rosetta Code site is busy or stuck trying to complete and/or process the failing process and I also concluded that Rosetta Code is failing for all other requests/processes for all other Rosetta Code users during this time --- until I close the (Firefox) window that contains the error message(s). -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 02:58, 30 July 2019 (UTC)
This page seems to be talking about the Jaro ''similarity'' (0=completely distinct, 1=identical), rather than the Jaro ''distance'' which is the other way around (0=identical, 1=maximally far apart). Propose that the task be renamed and the description reworded as such. --[[User:Markjreed|Markjreed]] ([[User talk:Markjreed|talk]]) 17:36, 30 May 2021 (UTC)

: I'd wager it's just floating point inaccuracy. Not all languages handle them the exact same way. Operation order also matters: floating point addition is not commutative. Given that, slight variations are probably to be expected. --[[User:Not a robot|Not a robot]] ([[User talk:Not a robot|talk]]) 23:51, 20 December 2021 (UTC)
