# Breaking: #64070 - Removed global variable WEBMOUNTS {#breaking-64070}

See [forge#64070](https://forge.typo3.org/issues/64070)

## Description {#description}

The global variable WEBMOUNTS has been removed, as the same data from the WEBMOUNTS can always be fetched via
`$GLOBALS['BE_USER']->returnWebmounts()`.

## Impact {#impact}

The variable `$GLOBALS['WEBMOUNTS']` will no longer be filled.

## Affected installations {#affected-installations}

Any installation using `$GLOBALS['WEBMOUNTS']` directly within an extension will produce a wrong result.

## Migration {#migration}

Replace all occurrences of `$GLOBALS['WEBMOUNTS']` with `$GLOBALS['BE_USER']->returnWebmounts()`.
