This problem is very actual. It was discussed at least twice on AskUbuntu (see https://askubuntu.com/questions/305199/is-there-a-deb-package-to-install-firefox-esr and https://askubuntu.com/questions/505895/how-can-i-install-an-older-version-of-firefox-in-ubuntu-14-04 ).
For Ubuntu Trusty and Xenial exists new Jonathon F's PPA (https://launchpad.net/~jonathonf/+archive/ubuntu/firefox-esr). Users can install Firefox ESR with the following commands: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jonathonf/firefox-esr sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install firefox-esr Thank you, jonathonf! It maybe very useful because of new Firefox add-on policy. I have installed 10 add-ons and 9 of them are marked as LEGACY (see https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-add-technology-modernizing ). So for enterprise users we really need ESR version of Firefox. Please make official Ubuntu package with it. ** Also affects: firefox-esr (Debian) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1676164 Title: REQ: firefox-esr package needed To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/1676164/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
