Thanks to JonathonF - he built latest Firefox ESR 52.4.0. Interested users may download it from PPA https://launchpad.net/~jonathonf/+archive/ubuntu/firefox-esr <https://launchpad.net/%7Ejonathonf/+archive/ubuntu/firefox-esr> .
But this is not user-friendly solution. Debian already packaged Firefox ESR 52.4.0 (see https://packages.debian.org/search?suite=all&exact=1&searchon=names&keywords=firefox-esr ). Current status of addons porting is indicated here ( https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1TFcEXMcKrwoIAECIVyBU0GPoSmRqZ7A0VBvqeKYVSww/htmlview# ). There are lot LEGACY (see https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-add-technology-modernizing ) addons. November with Firefox 57 (see https://wiki.mozilla.org/RapidRelease/Calendar ) will come very soon. I hope that Canonical will find resources for packaging Firefox ESR. Enterprise users will be very pleasant. With best regards, Norbert.
