I installed Firefox ESR because a while ago Google Hangouts said it was needed. Now I want to change back to Firefox normal. How do I do this?

I am using Windows XP, I downloaded the Firefox ESR version about a year ago, I want to go back to the regular version of Firefox, but no matter what link I try to download from, it always says it's the ESR version, even after I uninstalled Firefox and rebooted. The latest regular version is 56.0.1 and the version that keeps trying to download is 52.4.1esr. Does anyone know why this is happening and how I can get the regular version?

Hi Iconoclast19

The last Firefox version that supports Windows XP/Vista/Server 2003 is Firefox 52 and users on these no longer supported platforms should use the Firefox ESR 52 release.

Nevermind, I find the answer. Apparently Windows XP can only use the ESR version now. It wasn't that way when I chose to install it over a year ago, so that is why I was confused.

According to your system details you're on Mac OS 10.12 - had I known that you're using Windows XP I would have told you differently .......
