Firefox ESR 60

Question

When will patch manager switch from Firefox ESR 52 to ESR 60? 60 is officially available...

jhynds · Answer

Firefox 60.0/60.0.1/60.0.2 ESR packages have now been published to the Patch Manager catalog. Apologies for the delay in making these packages available.

I'm well aware of the differences between ESR 52 and ESR 60--that's exactly why I'm asking this question.

Hi wcmanes​,

Whilst Firefox ESR 60 is officially available, it doesn't exactly support legacy add-ons and run within Windows XP or Windows Vista, unlike Firefox 52 ESR.

I do think it's relevant asking when this will be looked into and implemented, but I don't expect this to be an urgent change... I'd link the product manager to this thread but I'm not sure who's the product manager of Patch Manager at this moment in time, so I'll recommend contacting SolarWinds directly.
