The ESR version of Firefox is aimed at corporations who want to have more control over the version of Firefox their employees have installed. Like Ubuntu LTS releases, Mozilla is selective about what patches/fixes/updates get backported to the ESR version. It will have an overlap period with the next ESR of 12 weeks, which gives users a window to upgrade to the latest ESR and ensures they are always on a supported version.
The ESR release will get support for approximately one year. This nominated version of Firefox, released to a specific cadence, will be given additional maintenance over and above the regular more frequent releases.
This Extended Support Release (ESR) is similar in concept to the Ubuntu LTS releases. This is particularly useful if partners decide they need to apply policies to Firefox for an install base they administer.
Mozilla Release Engineering created a special customised packaging of the Ubuntu version of Firefox intended for our enterprise partners of Canonical.
