will thunderbird 115 get updates till 1Q 2025 as firefox?

Dear support/community, I'm a little confused on the support of 115 version of thunderbird. It has been kind of treated as a "esr" version, like below 115.16.0esr indicates.

https://archive.mozilla.org/pub/thunderbird/releases/115.16.0esr/

I know firefox is stopping update until end of 1Q 2025, and my assumption that applies to all Mac, Windows and Linux and till then firefox will get high/medium CVE patches if impacted --- is this the right assumption?

I'm not sure about the situation of thunderbird. while I intend to believe similar to firefox, also told that 115.16 is the last 115 version.

Thanks.

Thanks a lot for the info, Matt.

Do you think my assumption for CVE patches for firefox is right? I assume firefox will get patches for high/critical CVEs while ignorning low/medium?

Firefox 115 will get security fixes that are deemed important. For sure high/critical, hard to predict beyond that.
