https://product-details.mozilla.org/1.0/firefox_versions.json LATEST_FIREFOX_VERSION shows esr value
Hello, I use the following link to get latest firefox stability release version, https://product-details.mozilla.org/1.0/firefox_versions.json
But looks like the value "LATEST_FIREFOX_VERSION" shows the ESR version number.
Is this a bug? or will this Api behave like this going forward?
My tools heavily depend on this? Any info on this would be greatly helpful.
Thanks

That last field seems to be fixed now, but I don't know what happened to it:
{ "FIREFOX_NIGHTLY": "53.0a1", "FIREFOX_AURORA": "52.0a2", "FIREFOX_ESR": "45.5.1esr", "FIREFOX_ESR_NEXT": "", "LATEST_FIREFOX_DEVEL_VERSION": "51.0b5", "LATEST_FIREFOX_OLDER_VERSION": "3.6.28", "LATEST_FIREFOX_RELEASED_DEVEL_VERSION": "51.0b5", "LATEST_FIREFOX_VERSION": "50.0.2" }https://product-details.mozilla.org/1.0/firefox_versions.json
This seems to be a relevant resource, but they may be others: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Release_Management/Product_details
Is this page useful? Obviously you'd parse it quite differently:
https://product-details.mozilla.org/1.0/firefox_primary_builds.json
Would make more sense if they change DEVEL to BETA.

I could parse it differently but so far I found this very helpful, https://product-details.mozilla.org/1.0/firefox_versions.json

Also I had another question? Is it possible to contribute to this page or even provide help in maintaining? Thanks in advance!!
At the end of the wiki page an IRC channel is mentioned for contacting the release management team. Maybe you can reach someone there who can answer your questions.

Saw this change again, LATEST_FIREFOX_VERSION is pointing to "50.1.0",
about contributing to this api, I did not find the IRC link, could you please paste the link here so i can directly contact them,
Since my tools depend on this i see this breaking often. It would be great if it could be avoided..
Thank you

Isn't this an ESR release?

The next major ESR version will be based on Firefox 52.0 as it is every seven versions.
Firefox 50.1.0 is a Release being served on www.mozilla.org and www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ as a Release.
