Where can I find a Firefox 38 ESR beta or nightly build?
If I were to look at Firefox 38.0 beta/nightly build here,
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/candidates/38.0b1-candidates/build1/
would that necessarily be testing a potential release version of FF 38 ESR? According to the ESR life cycle,
https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/organizations/faq/
this is true, because a FF 38 release version will get made into a ESR 31.7.0 build, which will turn into FF 38 ESR. But there isn't a 31.7.0 build yet.

You can use the Firefox 38 beta, that's pretty close to what 38 ESR will be. but that is what the 12 week overlap between 31 and 38 ESR is supposed to be for, so you can test the version before deploying.
and no the image isn't misleading, the arrow is showing the transition between branches, nothing else. You just read it wrong :)

The Firefox 38 will not turn into Firefox 31.7.0. Once 38 is released, we will have two ESR's, one of which is the new 38, and the other is the 31 code base with the security fixes from 38. then after another release or two, we will migrate all 31 ESR's to 38 and stop releasing new 31 branch releases.
So if I wanted to quickly smoke test something to see if there are any major issues in 38 ESR, I basically can't do that yet? That's what I'm reading.
The Firefox 38 will not turn into Firefox 31.7.0.
The image on this page is very misleading then: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/organizations/faq/

Thanks Tyler! I guess it's misleading to the FF layman :)

Understandable. I'm just getting a jump start on some things, even if it is a little early.
The 38.X.x ESR will be based on the 38.0 Release just as the 31.X.x ESR was based on 31.0 Release.
Firefox 37.0 was only just released today and 38.0 is starting on the Beta channel.
Note there is usually six to twelve Beta builds for a version. Also the first couple Beta builds for a version can sometimes have minor issues initially.
What you linked to was a Candidate build of the 38.0b1 as the 38.0b1 is at http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/38.0b1/
When 38.0b1 is ready for release it will be at https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/beta/all/

... Actually, you would be better off looking in teh *dedicated* ESR directory, 'latest-esr' and/or 'latest-31.0esr' @http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/?C=M;O=D
=)
Actually the Firefox 38.0 ESR is available now at https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/organizations/all/
