![]() I have seen where sometimes browser vendors have released a patch release and then another patch release which reverts that patch. and as far as the fixed vulnerabilities related to firefox, I'm only seeing 52.9.0 as well, see: As far as the 52.0.*-esr goes - I'm only able to find the following: I know recently this year Firefox rebranded their site and in doing so, it appears to be more difficult to find older versions of Firefox. With that being said - On the machine which I'm replying with I have a portable firefox ESR (52.9.0) and I'm on Windows 10. ![]() At the moment I don't have access to the other laptop that I was testing on, but I will try to double check within the upcoming days/weekend to see if I happen to have the installer still on it.
