Hello,
please see https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/40.0/releasenotes/
Therefore Windows is official (!) supported since Firefox 40RR.
Therefore Firefox 45ESR seems to be the first official Firefox ESR release for
windows 10.
In other words when you plan to migrate to windows 10 now, firefox is already
supported!
I don't know exactly but I think before Firefox 40 there were some problems
regarding setting firefox as standard browser.
Best regards
Sebastian Metzger

Does ESR make Firefox any easier to manage in the enterprise? I have around
3400 PCs spread throughout the state, some of which don't connect to the
network with any regularity.
Is it difficult to implement? I use SCCM for most software deployments, and we
would also bake it into the gold image that we use.

Historically, the major advantage of ESR has been the reduced need for
pre-deployment testing and validation. Since you only get a
security-and-stability-fixes release every six weeks, as opposed to a
full new-features-and-everything release, you can spend a lot less time
making sure everything still works as you need it to with the new
version, and your users don't have to adapt to user-visible changes as
often.
With the advent of mandatory extension signing, there's also now the
advantage that the pref to disable this requirement is available in the
ESR but not in the mainline releases. The jury is still out on whether I
will be setting that pref for my own organization's deployment.
Is it difficult to implement? I use SCCM for most software
deployments, and we would also bake it into the gold image that we
use.
No easier or harder than any other Firefox release, in my experience. I
build it into many of our images similarly, with no issues.
I deploy it with a procedure of 'uninstall existing Firefox via the
helper EXE if any is present, install new Firefox silently via
firefox.ini, install CCK2 customizations if the FF install succeeded',
triggered at launch time, through ZENworks Configuration Management; I'd
estimate that the whole process generally takes ~2 minutes start to finish.
(I would prefer to skip the "uninstall existing Firefox" step, but the
online documentation I've found indicates that silent install doesn't
always work right if there's an existing Firefox installation, so I take
the extra steps just in case.)
Note that I do specifically disable installation of the Mozilla
Maintenance Service, because we can't risk having users auto-update from
one ESR release line to the next (e.g. from 38 to 45). I might do it
differently if there were an option to have the Maintenance Service only
upgrade to the next release _within_ the current ESR line, but as far as
I know such an option does not exist and is not being considered.
