What confuses me here is why would Red Hat rebase a package so close to EOL. Now that they have they're stuck with either leaving a severly broken firefox or providing a fix less than 6 weeks before EOL. I honestly don't know which way they'll go here but it just seems to me like it was a very poor decision to rebase firefox in RHEL6 so close to EOL to begin with.
I'm guessing that as Firefox ESR 68 is now a year 'out-of-date' (and no longer supported by Mozilla), that they wanted to provide a more up to date version for those that want to continue using EL6 after its EOL ?
Just a thought, has anyone checked that the Redhat RHEL 6 build of ESR 78 works or or not? i.e. could it be an issue just with the CentOS build ?
