firefox_getLatest.sh -h for more infoHello xor
It was never the intention to keep ESR version updated since ESR means Extended Service Release (iirc). The point of providing an ESR version is to provide a basic browser to download from the repo
I don’t recommend the use of ESR version in any case. firefox_getLatest doesn’t need an existing Firefox installation to update, better to get latest version initially then use firefox_getLatest each month to get the latest and greatest version.
firefox_getLatest is flexible, the scrip is already capable of getting the latest ESR version or any Firefox version you desire.Code: [Select]firefox_getLatest.sh -hfor more info

Sorry I don't understand why the storage medium makes a difference..?
In iso format, I use TCL via sd-card. (I don't use HDD or SSD)
"Firefox ESR" sounds more secureOn the contrary, ESR is less secure than the latest version of regular Firefox
It would be good to have firefox-ESR.tcz (version 60) ready to download in the repo for beginner users. In this way TC will be more popular. Some new guys may not know how to use firefox_getLatest.shHey Neonix Are you aware firefox-ESR.tcz is available for download from the repo for new tc’ers not familiar with firefox_getLatest.tcz ?
Yes. In TC10 32-bit and 64-bit ther is firefox-ESR 52.1.2 but the latest ESR version is 68. I don't think many users will need FirefoxESR_getLatest.tcz becouse having ready do install version is much more handy. But if there is a volunteer that will create FirefoxESR_getLatest.tcz I also be happy.It would be good to have firefox-ESR.tcz (version 60) ready to download in the repo for beginner users.

having ready do install version is much more handyThis is the only reason Firefox-ESR.tcz exists, for those new users who didn't yet understand the versatility of firefox_getLatest.tcz. In my vision ESR versions were never intended to be used indefinitely or frequently updated. Thereafter It's up to the individual to use firefox_getLatest to get the latest version features and security fixes.
But if there is a volunteer that will create FirefoxESR_getLatest.tcz I also be happy.Are you aware that firefox_getLatest in manual mode can download and install the latest ESR or beta version as well as any prior published versions you desire? Additionally, If anyone requires to install the latest Firefox-ESR "enterprise" version this can also be achieved using the interactive mode of " firefox_getLatest " extension

Hi xor... linux is already a command based operating system,You don't need to know any commands. I listed the exact commands to type.

I took the time to provide you with a way to download the latest ESR from the desktop menu. If you can't be bothered to try it, fine.
I will not modify the existing firefox_getLatest.tcz.
If any other forum members provide feedback stating they tried the firefox_getLatestESR.tcz created by the script attached to
reply #14 and it works as intended, I am willing to create a .info file and submit it as a separate extension.
