It was automatically selected when I did the YOU update yesterday. I had a quick look and accepted all updates, I did not notice that this one was "optional", nor that it was not the ESR line. It was not listed separately under the "optional" list.
recommended is selected by default but can be deselected.
But you see, it got us by surprise this way.
You may select to not update Firefox to 60 while still being secure.
That being said there is no choice to update to 60 on 42.3 for security reasons soon now as it's impossible to maintain all security fixes w/o upstream support. So you have the choice to block the update and have no migration issues becoming insecure or to do the update in the end. Unfortunately there is basically nothing inbetween.
If it is that way, well...
I need to remind people that openSUSE used to ship rapid release Firefox for quite some time. Switching to ESR by default for Leap is a more recent approach only and ESRs are only maintained for around a year compared to a fully Leap cycle. It would be perfect if we could align it with Leap minor releases but unfortunately this math is not working out in some cases.
