Yes, the Mozilla upgrade treadmill is not fun to run on for me either. :-/
Part of having the stable branch is to ease some of my workload by putting
most of the QA work into a codebase with considerably less churn.

Chrome has always been hyperupdatactive and it is what it is, but I think
Mozilla underestimated how many people preferred Firefox *because* it was
stable and less erratic. At least they recognized this to some degree, and
the ESR does offer a modicum of stability, even though I think that not
offering it to the userbase at large is a mistake.

But, for the record, Firefox 19 will come out around February 2013:

Note that this wiki shows an ESR 24, but Mozilla has not announced they will
keep the ESR around that long. Only 10 and 17 have been committed to.
