Summary0001599: Inproper detection of Firefox ESR ( Extended Service Release )
DescriptionSUMO does not distinguish obsolete Firefox versions
and Firefox ESR 10.0.x ( extended support release )

Everybody who has FF 10.0.x has FF ESR and is using FF ESR for the reason.
He is not interested in stable FF 12.x of FF 13, but in FF ESR 10.0.x, or future releases.

FF ESR uses its own ESR update channel, containing just security and bug fixes,
until new majer ESR update is released, cca yearly.

It is never auto updated to normal FF release.
TagsNo tags attached.

 Hmm, I will see On Monday at work.

But things go more complicated.
AFAIK until now the FF kept M.N numbering.

But recently released patch for current last stable is 13.0.1.
What I have said previously about normal versus ESR numbering is not correct.

 I'm currently unable to find anything to distinct ESR from general release.. ;-(

Should anyone have a clue, i'd be happy if you share :)

 A little trick:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\defaults\pref\channel-prefs.js"

//@line 2 "e:\builds\moz2_slave\rel-m-rel-w32-bld\build\browser\app\profile\channel-prefs.js"
pref("app.update.channel", "release");

This is from Normal FF 13.0.1

I bet there would be some ESR string instead of release.

Edit:
Note that the above may be just default

 It is possible, that internally the executable are not to set
for belonging to either of update channels,
that they are just particular FF version.

The update mechanism may decide according to channel configuration,
what versions belong to which channel and what versions follow, if any new.
