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.

broken120x120 Posted September 23 Share Posted September 23 (edited) From a purely technical and compatibility basis, would you guys recommend updating to v117 or sticking to v115 ESR?

Mark-XP Posted September 23 Share Posted September 23 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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did not see 120 in the Mozilla FTP, so I couldn't try that yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
