The major version the ESR will be based on will be Firefox 52.0 and when the then older 45 ESR branch is made end of life there will be no more support for OSX 10.6, 10.7, 10.8 then.Īlso for those who have a older system with a older cpu that does not support SSE2 then the Firefox 45 ESR will be a option then also as Fx 49.0 drops support for older cpu's that does not support SSE2.Mozilla Firefox is a free, open source, cross-platform, graphical web browser developed by the Mozilla Corporation and hundreds of volunteers. You can stay with Firefox 48.0 for now or can change to the 45.0 ESR channel now if you like. There is a option of using the Firefox 45 ESR branch to get security updates for a while still as 45.8.0esr will be out when Firefox 53.0 is released and 45.8.0esr will be the last unless Mozilla extends 45.0 esr support.
The future Firefox 49.0 and newer Releases will require OSX 10.9 or newer. It was intended for Enterprise users in mind more.
The only difference with the ESR channel is it gets supported longer with most of the same security fixes the regular Release channel builds gets.

I have used Mac OSX very little compared to Linux and Windows to know if installing over is safe to do on Mac.
In either case, what will happen to my bookmarks, add-ons and extensions? In order to change to the 45.0 ESR channel, do I need to uninstall Firefox 48?
