- hadrien01 10y agoESR 38 is still updated? I think its end of life was a few months ago...
- yuhong 10y agoI think ESR never has Hello or Pocket anyway.
- JohnTHaller 10y agoNope. Firefox ESR is at version 45.3.0. Firefox 38.x is insecure and should absolutely not be used.
- Sir_Substance 10y agoHello wasn't just a plugin though. It was a WebRTC enabled website. You could start a firefox hello session with the button in the top corner, but you could share it with someone using any modern browser. Sounds like theyŕe killing the whole damn service rather than just removing the plugin, which seems like overkill. That said, I use appear.in regularly in place of hello because it's easy to make links in my head, so hey.

- Sylos 10y agoWebRTC is a web-standard. So, the WebRTC-plugin itself is actually something positive, as it gives users control to disable it. Other browsers just implemented WebRTC without giving users control over it. Well, unless you're referring to the Hello-button, which isn't a plugin, it's just a fancy bookmark to a service which then utilizes WebRTC.
