Hi,

I have a couple questions regarding firefox in non-edge releases (3.15
in this case):

Q:
Firefox-esr is behind and 91.5 seems to contain some security fixes.
However when I try to flag it on [0], I get 404. Is that expected?

Q:
I do not mind trying to send an patch, however what is the approach to
sending patches against non-master branches? Should I somehow tag them
in the patch? Is there some convention here?

Q:
Normal firefox is behind as well. But that is technically a difference
in a major version, so that might be correct. However I wonder if
firefox is not an exception. What is story here? Are major
version upgrades to firefox accepted even in 3.15 (non-edge) branch?

Thanks,
W.

There are only two hard things in Computer Science:
cache invalidation, naming things and off-by-one errors.
