Hopefully this means the two gigantic companies I work for will phase out Firefox ESR for Quantum. I also hope they move from 32-bit Firefox to 64-bit, but I've learned to keep my expectations low when it comes to these places progressing with tech.
>Added support for Web Authentication API, which allows USB tokens for website authentication.
That's awesome. Ok. Maybe I'll let myself get a little more hopeful. :')
- spencercw 8y agoFirefox ESR 60 has been released at the same time, and is more or less identical to the non-ESR version. ESR makes a lot of sense for corporate networks, even if it can be a drag being a bit behind the curve.
- equalunique 8y agoSure, ESR does make a lot of sense. According to Mozilla's timeline[0], enterprises will have to move to Firefox 60 ESR after August 2018, because the 52 ESR will be EOL after that time.

- bugmen0t 8y agoUnlikely. FWIW, Firefox 60 is an ESR release :-)
- equalunique 8y agoLooks like the Firefox 52 ESR will be EOL after August this year, so should be before 2019 when we start to see Firefox 60 ESR on most corporate networks: https://www.mozilla.org/media/img/firefox/organizations/release-overview.fddbdb1b7d81.png https://www.mozilla.org/media/img/firefox/organizations/rele...
