Extend supporting Firebox ESR's for Mac
I'm a retiree in my mid 70's...I've heard that Firefox will stop extending ESR's past March of this year. I'm not in a position to buy and update all my software and laptop & desktop the latter can't go any higher on Mac OS. So I'm asking that you please consider continuing support for older browsers. My browser is Mac Safari 14.1.2, I would be OK making a good sized donation to Mozilla or paying a monthly subscription if necessary to be kept updated on Firefox ESR's. I've seen other inquiries on your site from others asking about the same thing. So please consider my request and let me know if there's anything I can do to get your continued ESR support for my computers. It would mean a great deal to me and I know quite a few others as well...So please pass my thoughts up to management and I will hope for the best...
My Thanks,
Tom D.

Mozilla has decided recently to extend updates (for second time) for the older Firefox 115 ESR channel as it will be til Fx 115.27.0esr released on August 19.
https://whattrainisitnow.com/release/?version=esr
We decided to extend support for ESR 115 only on Windows 7-8.1 and macOS 10.12-10.14 up to September 2025. We will re-evaluate this decision in August 2025 and announce any updates on ESR 115's end-of-life then.
Normally the ESR short for Extended Support Release are made for Enterprise users in mind and not served to general users as this was a way for the eol OS users to get supported for a while longer. The old Firefox 115 ESR channel was originally planned to end at Fx 115.15.0esr only for Mozilla to decide at last minute to extend updates the first time on.
