is that really true?

I too was surprised to see that there was some sort of update. The good thing is that I have Nightly made portable with its own profile, so updating and corrupting the profile did not damage my data. I had to add a policy to block updates, but it affects all versions of Firefox.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Mozilla\Firefox]
"DisableAppUpdate"=dword:00000001

From a purely technical and compatibility basis, would you guys recommend updating to v117 or sticking to v115 ESR?

Edit: How far can Windows 8.1 go?

From my purely instinctive "mozilla-experience" basis i'll stay on 102 ESR alap, and if then any important(!) site will not work with it in the future, i'll install v115 (parallel) for it.

I don't think there's much point in keeping v117, even though it's newer in features, but eventually, in a few years both will be equally obsolete. But ESR will eliminate vulnerabilities found during the support period.

Currently, Windows 8.1 can run the latest version (119). Since 120 Nightly will be released tomorrow, I think it will run as well. It‘s going to be the fifth post-EOL version to run on 8.1

I can confirm 119 works under 8.1. I did not see 120 in the Mozilla FTP, so I couldn't try that yet.
