Except where noted, these changes apply to Firefox 151 and Firefox 140.11 ESR. Firefox 140 is now the current ESR, and enterprise changes will no longer be backported to Firefox 128 ESR.
Firefox 153 will be the next Firefox ESR release. As we approach that transition, fewer non-security fixes and enterprise policy changes will be backported to Firefox 140 ESR.
If you use the ESR, we strongly recommend testing with Firefox Beta or Nightly to identify any issues before the Firefox 153 ESR release.
Mozilla has introduced Firefox Support for Organizations, a new support offering for enterprise deployments of Firefox. For more information, see this blog post.
