Condensed Excerpt from recent request to update which includes the following: "...Mozilla working to improve Firefox. ...you may be selected to rate your experience. ...your feedback gives us a real-time understanding of your needs so we can act on them quickly. ...we also use Heartbeat to send surveys on Mozilla products, the Internet or current events relevant to users.

I DO NOT WANT ALL THE SURVEYS, MONITORING, AND THE REST.

I am a Senior and I don't graze, browse, stream,play games or use social media, or watch tv on laptop. It is for work, not play.                   I do not want my pc clogged up and the speed dragging with all the new junk offered.  
I would like to have a security upgrade without all the other irrelevant additions that are totally unwanted and would be unused. .

SECOND ISSUE: This offer below, I found accidentally while trying to find where to contact you:... "Switch to Firefox Extended Support Release (ESR) for personal use How to switch to Firefox ESR as a workaround for issues with the newest version of Firefox." THIS, to help you back out of any problems you encounter when you do upgrade, does not encourage me to download this current update. I still remember the frustration the last time I downloaded a major update and had problems. I left IE because of the regular freezing and crashes slow downs, etc. To my surprise, I found that most people just tolerated these things as part of doing business!?! I was so happy when someone suggested Firefox. I have had NO freezes, crashes or other problems since. Please dont overload us with things that could contribute to the same thing happening on Mozilla. In this instance, you do NOT want to be like MS product that continues to turn out versions too soon w/all it's bugs that the poor user has to fix. I will go to Linux or Mac if that happens.... Thanks for listening.

I think this requires more then the forum help but a computer shop to help show you how to do what you need to do without getting your system loaded with junk. This is a End user help forum so a reliable computer shop can do more to get your system working correctly for your need.

Heartbeat is a way that we can reach out to our users. We will display messages asking them about Firefox, and they can give their opinion. If you don't want to, just ignore any of those messages if you ever see one (though your opinions are valuable and help us shape the product's future).

As for your other issue, ESR is not for home users, did you actually install ESR?

Also, you are running a very outdated version of Firefox. You should update to 60.0.1, which will run much better. Update Firefox to the latest release

Hi, you can opt out if you want: Rate your Firefox experience, surveys and out of date messages (Heartbeat)

To check or update your version of Firefox: Open the 3-bar menu > Options (General) - Firefox Updates.
