I do not think may people care fatally, or if they do they we may still take the decision to longer offer it in Tumbleweed.
ok, fine for me. So first update to >= 55 and then see if we really need to provide ESR52.
- Firefox 52 and 55 profiles are incompatible (more specific backwards incompatible)
There is some info in that: https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1053314#c3
Firefox profiles for version 55+ can be "refreshed" to work with Firefox 52 via about:support (though I have not tested this personally). Presumably this would also work for certain other "old" versions of Firefox. See: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1357428#c2
As far as I know the "refresh" function just resets _everything_ to default. So the user will lose most of his personal settings doing so but then honestly I haven't tried it yet.
- it's technically possible to update MozillaFirefox to 55.0 now
I think this should be done now for Tumbleweed, and the fast release cycle be followed going forward in Tumbleweed. This is entirely within the Tumbleweed development model and positioning. I also think we do not need to ship an ESR version in parallel on TW.
ok, we'll move on like this but only in a few days since I'm currently away with limited chances to do anything. Wolfgang -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
