Thanks for making MSI's finally available per this page. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/deploy-firefox-msi-installers#w_firefox-release

However you really need to include a note about ESR MSI releases. 90+% of people searching for an MSI are deploying to a corporate environment and would likely prefer the ESR package but there is no link to it. It's only when you go to the discussion thread here (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/deploy-firefox-msi-installers/discuss/7829#post-17444) that you discover that the ESR MSI isn't available yet as version 65 where MSI's started has not yet made it to the ESR channel. You really need to leave a note on the page about this and possibly advise the date when version 65 hits ESR and ESR MSI's will become available.

Thanks Stirling

The current ESR is currently based on 60.0 Release as current is 60.7.0. There is no Firefox 65.0 ESR and never will be.

Firefox 65.0 was the first version version to have MSI. The earliest ESR to have MSI will be Firefox 68.0 ESR.

There are MSI for the 66.0.x and 67.0 Releases since the 65.0 Release however none for the 60 ESR branch. https://archive.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/67.0/
