Doesn't Debian follow the ESR releases for their stable branches? E.g. when support for ESR 52 ends they'll upgrade stable releases to ESR 59?

- kzrdude 9y agoYes. Current stable did not have Firefox ESR 52 when current stable was released, but it has it now. Debian is providing Firefox ESR 52 even in oldstable (check security upgrades) https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/firefox-esr https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/firefox-esr
- beefhash 9y agoNormally, yes. However, something on that page concerns me: "Jessie and Stretch backports of Firefox release and beta are gone because of the requirement of rust to build them, which is not available in Jessie or Stretch. Please update your apt sources to use Firefox ESR instead." I'm not sure how that Rust requirement and ESR 59 will play together; I'll assume they won't play together very well.
