Re: [FireFox] Firefox ESR?

said by Mele20:

The FAQ for FX ESR state:

"At the end of the support period for an ESR version:

the release will reach its end-of-life
no further updates will be offered for that version
an update to the next version will be offered through the application update service"
So, why am I not being offered the new version when I check for updates?

Because there is no new version yet for you.

The 10 ESR branch is still supported - when Firefox reaches 19.0, ESR 10 goes end-of-life.

Looking at the older projected schedule referenced by OP, it looks like 17.0.2esr would indicate the EOL for 10.0esr. Looking at the actual recent & present release schedule(s), it looks more like it will actually be when 17.0.3esr is released (same time as 19.0 supposedly). So, one more point release? (Oh, what a tangled web they weave... )

Thanks! Now, I vaguely recall I read some time ago (probably in one your excellent posts) that 10 ESR is supported until Fx reaches 19.0.

Is the new ESR version going to install on top of this one I have?

You're welcome, Mele. Good memory!

Duh. I wasn't thinking too well when you said "an update to the next version will be offered through the application update service" as that answers my question which I didn't need to ask. I'm glad it will update in that manner.
