Thanks! I'm always glad when a browser doesn't update on Patch Tuesday with Windows, Office, and Flash.

Mozilla Firefox Release Notes

Firefox ESR will continue to ship point releases on the same day that Firefox ships

I guess Mozilla isn't sticking to that because I just checked on the same day that FF updated and there is no update for ESR.

Unless by point releases they mean the 2nd number after the version.  :-\

That is what I figured when ESR that I have on one machine didn't find any updates.

Firefox 48.0.2 released to fix a startup crash issue caused by Websense (Windows only) (Bug 1291738).
