I think it's not easy to do that for some modules. E.g., starting from
Firefox 57, we removed a lot of XPCOM interfaces/objects. That caused
redesigning some implementation around them (for making simpler and
faster). Additionally, some refactoring must have been done in the
period. For example, my owning module `editor` has been rewritten at
almost all lines in the period. So, porting patches for such places
require to understand each patch what it does.

Hi,
I know this sounds like a strange questions. However, we have a very large
customer who is using our old OS which the last successful build of Firefox ESR
was 52.9. But because of the massive updates to FF 60 we have been unable to
get FF 60+ to build on that old OS. This customer has demanded we provide an
updated Firefox for this old OS so I am asking if it would be possible to patch
FF 52.9esr with the security updates since 60 was released?
Thanks,
Cheers
