I'm guessing that as Firefox ESR 68 is now a year 'out-of-date' (and no longer supported by Mozilla), that they wanted to provide a more up to date version for those that want to continue using EL6 after its EOL ?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 ?
