For those that use the stub installer in lieu of the full installer from Download Firefox in your language (https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/) should deselect send installation metrics to Mozilla (this is nothing short of Spyware) Screencapture shows.

32 or 64 bit?  I double-checked and have 32-bit ESR version 38.7.0 (as I recall, previous version 38.6.1).

x86 this time around, I use it so little, there's no need for x64.

I just backtracked a loong way (I've also had Nvidia driver issues (http://wccftech.com/nvidia-users-beware-latest-drivers-damage-pc/) ) and on the Localisations page (https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/organizations/all/), there's an ill-defined (esp. for someone with a colour deficiency) option:

QuoteFully localized versions      Show  Firefox 45 | Firefox 38

Time for an uninstall and revert to the tried and trusted v38 build.

Firefox released a patch to 45.0, it is now 45.0.1 released March 16, 2016

This was more of a bug fix, no security fixes.

HAH, I know why I didn't do the browser update. I was busy dealing with trying to update Windows 7 and trouble shooting those issues!

I'll mark in my notes to look for an update close to April 19th. It is my backup browser so I don't fire it up too often.

Since ESR will continue to be updated through v 38, sometime in May, I'll move to the next ESR version 45.
