- DON'T wait for arkenfox to update Firefox, nothing major changes these days
* Each release
- run prefsCleaner to reset prefs made inactive, including deprecated (9999)
* ESR
* ESR (Extended Support Release)
- It is recommended to not use the updater, or you will get a later version which may cause issues.
So you should manually append your overrides (and keep a copy), and manually update when you
change ESR releases (arkenfox is already past that release)
