@team-esr: Are you on the Mozilla Enterprise maillist? If not, I might recommend it. The following links to a message from someone who has packaged Firefox-ESR inside an organization: https://mail.mozilla.org/private/enterprise/2012-August/002124.html -- You received this bug notification

@Erik Meitner Hey friend, that "Team ESR" is me! I have set up the ppa and I do have the firefox esr sourcecode and have read a little bit on ppa packaging. However, the firefox sourcecode seems to be a bit different than that described in the tutorials. Frankly, I have never done any ppa packag

Two things to add. There is a "Team ESR" Launchpad team that claims to be addressing issue but they have no packages in their PPA: https://launchpad.net/~team-esr And: http://www.infoworld.com/t/web-browsers/firefox-in-the-new-out-the-compatibility-189645 -- You received this bug notification b

@Chris Coulson You have clearly and successfully made your case and supported your argument for NOT using Firefox ESR as the default in Ubuntu. However, there is still no reason whatsoever not to package it in "universe" or at least in your mozilla stable ppa. Would you please at least consider

I think that Ubuntu should aprove the Firefox ESR , showing support for Mozilla in order to keep up with ESR. It's very good for corporate users/clients, it was claimed by a lot when the new release schedule started. I really wnat it packaged to the repositories and installed by default at Ubuntu B

You are correct, that is an exaggeration. It does not change the fact that during the lifetime of ESR 10 I will have to spend time testing a new Firefox release a total of eight times, possibly communicating with all users to set expectations, possibly updating documentation, possibly creating work

The web browser "changing wildly" is quite an over-exaggeration. The changes between 10.0 and 11.0 really are quite minor, just like any other 6-week release. Of course, if you're talking about the changes from 3.6 to 10.0, then this point is moot because you would have had to deal with that with

My job of keeping 60+ Ubuntu 10.04 Workstations working for our 150 users is made more difficult when the web browser is changing wildly. I chose 10.04 LTS for the same reason I am begging for Firefox 10.xesr packages for 10.04. "The web is not static."(http://www.chriscoulson.me.uk/blog/?p=111) S

Wow, thanks for the quick response, friend (that might be the fastest "Won't Fix" I have ever seen.) As I understand this, the "Won't Fix" signifies that Firefox ESR will not be packaged in the regular repositories. However, I would still like to get Mr. Coulson's response to the mozillateam/fire

Thank you for requesting this. We don't have the resources to update both of these and as there's no commitment for the ESR past year 2, it doesn't seem to make sense to package for precise. Please report any other issues you may find. As for the code, you can take a look the code in oneiric as i
