From this perspective, the RPM from one of RedHat's derivatives would be the ideal answer - a long term support release.
As far as I know, such lengthy support terms do not exist for any Windows releases.
Firefox on RedHat 8 will stay as it is until 2029.
- Melatonic 5y agoActually there is a fairly secret long term version of windows 10 that also does without all the bullshit. No store, no constant massive feature updates, etc. Windows 10 LTSB / LTSC. They try to make it seem like its only for embedded machines but its basically just stripped down windows 10 with a lot more similarities (feature wise) to what windows 7 was.
- kasabali 5y agoThis claim is totally fiction. RedHat has no magic Mozilla sauce, they simply ship Firefox ESR and upgrade it every year. You'll have the same breakage in the end, just yearly instead of monthly.
- chasil 5y agoYes, because "big updates" regularly trash Firefox in Red Hat. This happens all the time. What a fiction indeed.
- kasabali 5y agoThey trash just as much as the ESR release you'd download from mozilla.org would. In other words, you don't need to switch to RHEL to use Firefox ESR. It's the same version you can install on any other distro or Windows.
