So going with the ESR edition, could mean less testing when the browser is updated, as any updates will not contain new features. Updates to the Regular Release may contain feature additions and will also address security vulnerabilities.

The ESR edition of FireFox is not updated with new features, updates will only address security vulnerabilities.

Currently FireFox is being maintained in two tracks, the Regular Release and Extended Support Release (ESR). To get started you will need to pick a FireFox installer that suits your needs. This means that at some point two of the four major browsers (Edge, Google Chrome, FireFox and Internet Explorer) will be running on the Chromium core. Microsoft has decided that the Edge browser, among other in-box Universal Windows applications, are only available in the semi-annual releases of Windows.įor anyone caring a bit about privacy, it may also be that FireFox is becoming one of the last independent browsers out there, as Microsoft late last year announced that Edge is moving to the Chromium open source project. Unfortunately in Session Hosts, we do not have access to the Microsoft Edge, only Internet Explorer is available out of the box. Until recently my second choice was actually Internet Explorer, but I am more and more often experiencing issue with different web sites when using IE, so it’s now down to third choice. However you should be able to use this guide in Microsoft RDS and VMware Horizon as well.ĭuring my research and testing of FireFox I have of course become more familiar with the browser, and it is also currently my second choice of browser, my first choice is still Microsoft Edge. By non-persistent I mean in a Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktop setup deployed either via Citrix Provisioning or via Citrix Machine Creation Services. In this article I’ll show you how to install and configure FireFox in a non-persistent Session Host environment.
