fp,
Yes, I did notice this behavior through v9 and through v10.
But once I got to this v10.3 ESR, all that 'help/about'
checking has stopped. Odd. And, yet I now have 1 FF
Browser sporting v11.0. This machine had been shut
down since the March 13/14 WinUpdate cycle.
I do updates each month, update apps, defrag the drive,
backup the client, and, then shutdown the machine until
the next months cycle. I have 3 machines like this. I just
do not have a valid use for these clients any more....... :(

So, I now have 3 clients that have managed to 'update' themselves to
v10.3 ESR. Fine, I guess; except I now have a 4th client that
updated to
FF Browser v11.0. Weird, but OK ATM!
My confusion is that the 3 'ESR' (Enterprise Service Release) clients
now
seem locked. The HELP tab/button no longer sports the 'Check for new
version' button/bar. When I continue to 'About Firefox', again, no
selection to Update Firefox............... I feel stuck.
Please tell me I do NOT have to erase/un-instal and then start over!
Please!
Went to Mozilla/Firefox to ask and got delivered the release blather
about ESR.
Zero about how to step back to Non-ESR. Very odd.
Not broken, not down, just very confusing.
