      It is interesting to see that the ESR Firefox version hasn’t been updated. Does that mean the security bugs fixed were in subsequent versions only?

      PS Welcome @randythetechprofessor
      Thanks for the listing.
      As there are 3 Firefox versions listed, and 2 for Opera, it would be really helpful if the current versions had the name in bold, to make it easier to see 🙂

        It’s not been uncommon to find that the ESR Firefox doesn’t need updating, it doesn’t have the bells and whistles of the main Release versions and is relatively lightweight in comparison.
