Who may I ask what the latest Firefox version is out there?

Secondly, what is the ESR release schedule?  Or can someone provide the ESR 
schedule..  And what will the next ESR cycle start and what is that 
build/version number?

Thanks,
Ashley

Subject: [Mozilla Enterprise] FF OSX - possible changes to group ownership and 
permissions (bug 394984)

Hi everyone,

We wanted to inform this group of changes that may be made to the group 
ownership and permissions of Firefox installations on OSX during future updates.

tl;dr: Desktop Firefox for OSX will add the ability for end-users to run 
elevated updates should a regular update not be possible. An elevated update 
will set the group ownership of the Firefox.app application bundle to “admin” 
and add write permission for the group. Only users with administrative 
privileges can run elevated updates.

An installation of Firefox on OSX could previously only be updated by the user 
who originally installed it. In bug 
394984<https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=394984>, we are adding the 
ability for users to enter administrative credentials to run an elevated update 
if required. As part of the elevated update, the group ownership of the 
Firefox.app application bundle will be recursively set to “admin” and write 
permission will be added for the group. This allows for administrative users to 
run future updates without further elevation. Non-administrative users will not 
be able to run elevated updates, set group ownership to “admin” or add write 
permission for the group unless administrative credentials are entered.

If you have any questions or concerns, please let us know by replying to this 
email or by commenting in bug 
394984<https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=394984>.
