Leap 15.0 users had to enable "studies", and then depart from the instructions and restart Firefox at possibly some later time. That became clear to me less than 12 hours ago.
Same with 42.3 or the hotfix-update-xpi-intermediate would not install (or didn't appear to). I enabled studies, restarted and clicking on studies now shows the hotfix as a study. First time I ever heard of them. My policy is to lock down all bi-directional traffic except allowing submission of crash-reports. Seems we need to look further into studies. Glad this fiasco is over. KDE3 Konqueror is no substitute as a web-browser :p Great file-manager, but terrible browser....
There was a big discussion about the "studies" and "normandy" few days ago [0]. Seems like they are enabled by default for many people, which suggests Mozilla has learned nothing since the Mr. Robot incident. [1] [2] Well, I guess it's time to move on.
