You seem to have an ESR release 17.0.9 which is still within the support window. Therefore it is current. But so is ESR 24.0 now too. There is overlap. ESR 24 is also current. And so is the consumer "release" version 24.0 too. All as describe in the previously quoted: http://www.mozilla.org/img/covehead/esr/release-overview.png Therefore *all three* of them are current. But if you go to download the latest available version then you will get the consumer release version 24 flavor because that is what upstream prefers and pushes. [Note that this wouldn't be such a problem if Firefox (and chromium too) didn't release every six weeks. And if they weren't an 800lb gorilla that is too big to be ignored. They do what they want and the majority of us can only react to it.] Bob
