UPDATE: Firefox 60 ESR showed up on one of my corporate laptops. Unfortunately, it's 32-bit. ;_;
Firefox ESR 60 has been released at the same time, and is more or less identical to the non-ESR version. ESR makes a lot of sense for corporate networks, even if it can be a drag being a bit behind the curve.

Sure, ESR does make a lot of sense. According to Mozilla's timeline[0], enterprises will have to move to Firefox 60 ESR after August 2018, because the 52 ESR will be EOL after that time.

Unlikely. FWIW, Firefox 60 is an ESR release :-)

Looks like the Firefox 52 ESR will be EOL after August this year, so should be before 2019 when we start to see Firefox 60 ESR on most corporate networks: https://www.mozilla.org/media/img/firefox/organizations/rele...
Hopefully this means the two gigantic companies I work for will phase out Firefox ESR for Quantum. I also hope they move from 32-bit Firefox to 64-bit, but I've learned to keep my expectations low when it comes to these places progressing with tech.

That's awesome. Ok. Maybe I'll let myself get a little more hopeful. :')
