I only keep FF updated as a backup, although I'm beginning to wonder why I bother since I don't care for the changes that have been made. I have the current version on one device and ESR on another but Pale Moon continues to be the primary workhorse for me.

I'm still running FF v 45 until June 13th when Mozilla drops support for it.

Both versions 45 and 52 are still available for download https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/organizations/all/

 

I've dragged updating because I suspect the interface will be a lot different. That's the reason I switched to Palemoon as my main browser and have FF as a backup.

I have started using FF again (version 52.0.2) in both Mint and Ubuntu because there are many videos on You tube based on HTML5 which for a reason unknown to me is not working In Chrome.I would use FF all the time but some Flash videos cannot be seen and I have lots of folders in my bookmark toolbar in Chrome that I cannot transfer from Chrome to FF (unless someone can show me hot to do it)

Anyway I am glad to use FF again but will have a look at Palemoon and see how well it will work for me.

 

Oops! Just realized it's for Windows.

I just installed PCLinuxOs this afternoon and now I see that I am using FF version 51.0.1 but when I looked for upgrades it tells me I am up to date. I guess I am ok!

Mozilla sent Firefox Version 53.0.2 to the release channel today. (No references made to version 53.0.1.) When checking, I wasn't offered an update to Firefox ESR.

 

The next scheduled release is June 13, 2017 (5 week cycle with release for critical fixes as needed).
