Thanks Tom, Ashley – my response is:
For Extended Support Release channel (ESR) latest is 38.6.0 ESR. For mainline release channel latest is 44.0. We have used the ESR since its inception and I strongly recommend it for enterprises. The only pain point is moving between major ESR versions and absorbing all of the changes at once. Still the stability has been a good thing for us between major versions. ESR info: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/organizations/ ESR life cycle (scroll down a bit): https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/organizations/faq/ We are being asked to test the Firefox 45.0 beta from the mainline channel – in preparation for the March 8th release of Firefox v45.0 ESR (which will be released alongside 38.7.0 ESR – they release the newest ESR alongside the older ESR for 2 releases). Can Mozilla or Mr. Farrow provide a good download URL for the 45 beta we ought to be testing please?

Thanks, Ashley From: Enterprise [mailto:[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>] On Behalf Of Stephen A Pohl Sent: Tuesday, February 02, 2016 10:39 AM To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> 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>. -Stephen A Pohl ________________________________ This transmission is not a digital or electronic signature and cannot be used to form, document, or authenticate a contract.
