Extended Support Release changes major features less often and is designed for organizations and managed deployments. Firefox 115 ESR is also the supported Firefox line for Windows 7, 8 and 8.1 and macOS 10.12 through 10.14.

Nightly contains the earliest Firefox development changes and updates frequently. It is intended for testing, experimentation and bug reporting rather than maximum day-to-day stability.
