Firefox desktop still on ESR channel after upgrading to MacOS 12.7
While on MacOS 10.14 (Mojave) Firefox desktop updates transitioned to an ESR channel. This was expected and worked just fine. I recently updated the MacOS to 12.7 (Monterey) but Firefox desktop updates are still on the ESR channel.
When I go to Firefox -> About Firefox it says the desktop browser is up to date and that it's on the Extended Support Release. This ESR is only good until September 2024. I don't think it's supposed to be on the ESR channel since the OS is now 12.7, rather, it should just be on a "regular" update channel. Is that correct?
If no, will updates for MacOS Monterey cease in September 2024 too? If yes, how do I get back to the regular updates?
TIA

It should continue to update after September, so you don't have to do anything (ESR is good all the time). To switch to a regular Firefox, you have to download and install Firefox from https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/

You can find the full installer of the current Firefox release (121.0) in all languages and all operating systems here:
If you stayed on the Fx 115.0 ESR channel you may likely get updated to the next major ESR version (Fx 128 ?) after 115 ESR is EOL.
Otherwise you need to install the current Firefox Release yourself to be using versions and updates on the Release channel.
