Per the README
https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/latest-esr/README.txt
the most recent version of firefox should download from the following link

"https://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-esr-latest&os=osx&lang=en-US"
(I'm using firefox-esr-install.py)

However, the link is still downloading 52.8

Did I miss something or has mozilla just not updated the link?

Until version 60.2.0 Firefox 60 is in "qualifying" status for ESR and 52 is still active. The path to Firefox 60 ESR is "60.0esr" as seen here:

I found when I was using a curl command for "https://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-esr-latest&os=osx&lang=en-US" that I had to use the follow link argument to resolve downloading the correct installer.

FWIW, Firefox 52 only supports macOS 10.9 - 10.12; Firefox 60 supports macOS 10.9 - 10.13...

Firefox 52.0esr System Requirements
Firefox 60.0esr System Requirements

Plug-ins will probably not be ready...and you can't roll back your profile...but...varoom!!

I switched away from that version of the Script

I am now using this bash version https://www.jamf.com/jamf-nation/discussions/26076/mozilla-firefox-esr-update-script
