Re: Firefox ESR package is really needed

[Logan Rosen]

Matthias, it looks like you added firefox-esr to the sync blacklist from
Debian in this commit
.
Can you please shine some light on why this change was made? Thanks!

Firefox ESR package is really needed

[Nrbrtx]

Dear Ubuntu developers!

For enterprise Ubuntu users Firefox ESR
 is needed.
It does not change too fast and support old "LEGACY" extensions
.

This problem was discussed at least twice on AskUbuntu (see
https://askubuntu.com/questions/305199/is-there-a-deb-package-to-install-
firefox-esr and https://askubuntu.com/questions/505895/how-can-i-
install-an-older-version-of-firefox-in-ubuntu-14-04 ).
There is a bug about this problem on Launchpad (see
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1676164).

For example in Windows my organization uses Firefox ESR.
We do not need bells and whistles, we need to do our work with stable user
experience and without security vulnerabilities.

Debian already has Firefox ESR (see
https://packages.debian.org/search?suite=all&exact=1&searchon=names&keywords=firefox-esr)
for all supported versions.

Please add these packages to all supported Ubuntu versions.
You may want to use bleeding edge version as default, but please add
firefox-esr package too.


With best regards,
Norbert.
