You guys do know that we are fairly up2date with firefox/thunderbird on their ESR program right? The Firefox/Thunderbird we have is totally updated for security and gets upstream support from Mozilla. It does not have every feature, but it has most and should stay on ESR.
Yes; I mainly use the ESR version; but sometimes I wanna have fun and play a bit with the new features... Weird numbering, especially since the 10.0.x branch seems to stop at 10.0.8 (and apparently related to 18.x)... Did they go further (past their 2 release overlap) so that we don't have to switch to 17.0.x?
In "<Version>.0.x", the "x" part is variable based on the number of security updates within the period. Every time they release a security update in the main firefox tree during the period, they issue a new ".x" release in the ESR tree as well.
The length of "TIME" that the ESR tree exists is set, the "x" versions are not.
