I believe the 'problem' is the web page at: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/organizations/ This is the page that most people will arrive at when searching for info about the ESR release Unfortunately, the terminology on that page 'implies' that you need to sign up to this list before doing anything else ... i.e. using the term 'Step' normally means you need to complete 'Step 1' (sign up to the list) before proceeding to 'Step 2' (download ESR) I definitely got that impression when I was looking for info about ESR over 5 years ago (although I wanted to sign up!) - so I'm not surprised so many people join this list 'by mistake' My suggestion would be to get that page changed and replace the 'Step 1' and 'Step 2' paragraphs with something like: * Review our handy FAQ about Firefox ESR [link] * Download Firefox ESR [link] * Join the Enterprise Working Group (EWG) mailing list [link] to discuss deploying and configuring Firefox ESR with other community members and receive regular communications regarding product updates and support i.e. no mention of 'Steps' or 'strongly encouraging' list membership :-) My guess is that those just interested in finding out about basics of ESR or just wanting to download it, will have followed the FAQ or download links and left the page so never get to the mail list link ... i.e. only those that _really_ want to sign up will follow the list link James Pearson _______________________________________________ Enterprise mailing list Enterprise@mozilla.org https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/enterprise To unsubscribe from this list, please visit https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/enterprise or send an email to enterprise-requ...@mozilla.org with a subject of "unsubscribe"
