hello:

i recently updated firefox (win64) and found that some critical extensions i use havent been ported to the new version. i had to reinstall 56.0.1. i'm hoping that in the near future the extensions will be updated, but until then i cant go to v57.x. my concern is security of v56.x and potential security patching.

  • is v56.x going to receive security updates going forward? im not concerned about functionality updates, only security patches.
  • when will any updating besides a move to v57.x end?

thanks, jr

Hi, security updates have already ended for 56.0.2 please upgrade to 57 or get 52 ESR from this page: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/organizations/all/

52 ESR will be supported with security updates until May 2018 -- where it will upgrade to 59 ESR.

If this solved your problem, mark as solution!
