17.0.7 similar to 22.0.1?
Posted: Thu Jul 25, 2013 7:47 am
I have a question.
We have installed FirefoxESR 17.0.1 having updated from 8.0.1 when it became available. Since then Firefox has stepped through versions 18 to the current 22.0. As Frontmotion has also released a Firefox version 18 through 22 they have simultaneously released FirefoxESR 17.0.2 through 17.0.7. Does the 17.0.7 version reflect the updates in Firefox 22.0? And as such, should we continue upgrading 17.0.x as Firefox updates versions above 22.0? This assumes, of course, we want to be as current as possible to the current Firefox release in our Frontmotion FirefoxESR implementation.
I ask this because it is my contention that if we do not upgrade from FirefoxESR 17.0.1 we will remain at a Firefox version equivalent to 17.0 while Firefox is now currently distributing 22.0, as is Frontmotion in FirefoxESR 17.0.7. Also, if we continue at 17.0.1 we will fall further behind Firefox distribution version until Frontmotion releases, say FirefoxESR 29.0.1 when Firefox releases a version 29.0.
I appreciate a response to this question whether I am right or wrong .... that I am wrong being the current prevailing opinion arrayed against me. I am here to resolve this question for myself one way or the other.
Cheers!
