Version Updates to Windows 10
The last Firefox update to one of my Windows 10 machines was to 115 (which I thought was only for Win 7 & 8 installs). When I review the Help/About screen it is requesting an upgrade to 128, but 146 is the latest release. The ESR release for Win10 is 140.
After the latest (mid-December) Windows update destroyed so many things, including the sizing, movement, and display of Firefox windows, I'm freezing the automatic Microsoft update sequence, and installing the ESR 140 release as well.
Just trying to understand how Firefox determines which update level a browser will automatically download and install based on an existing, standard or ESR, release it finds installed.
Thank you.

Firefox 115 ESR is based on the old Firefox 115.0 Release though yes the more current Firefox 115 ESR versions are served to Windows 7, 8, 8.1 OS users.
A common reason I have seen in threads of people using Windows 10 or 11 getting served a Firefox 115 ESR version is due to them running Firefox in Windows 8 compatibility mode for some reason when there is no good reason to.
The Firefox 128 and 140 are ESR channel versions so the Firefox 115 ESR would update to a ESR version and not a current version on Release channel. If you want the current Firefox 146.0.1 Release on that Windows 10 system then you need to download it from https://www.firefox.com/download/all/desktop-release/ or if you want install the current Firefox 140.6.0esr https://www.firefox.com/download/all/desktop-esr/ instead of by internal updates.
