Before this +frenetic pace of a new version every 6 weeks, Firefox often went 2 or 3 +months without an update, when there had been no bugs with security +implications. I expect that the ESR version would likely follow the +same practice. +Even if not, in addition to less risk of regressions, no new features +should be easier to test.
