Especially in large institutions with centrally maintained
installations, the new version of the Firefox developers to policy
criticism was encountered: every six weeks, the updates are not held to
deal with there. Ultimately, the use of the free browser was in such
environments into question.
After the Mozilla Foundation had then recently re-activated a working
group for cooperation with enterprises , this has now published a first
proposal . Accordingly, as Firefox would be maintained in parallel with
8 each for seven further releases. In these 42 weeks, the developers
plan to correct only particularly dangerous security vulnerabilities.
This includes errors that lead to an unscheduled release a minor release
like 9.1. New functions flow into one of the older software does not.
These "ESR" versions (Extended Support Release) overlap by 12 weeks, so
the following is to Firefox 8 ESR version 13. Until they move to the
institutional users would thus a period of approximately three months to
test their applications. The new process could start Firefox with 8 or
9, so in 7 or 13 weeks.
