The update will start rolling out to the stable Firefox population later today, if you are reading this on July 27th, 2023. It is unclear if the issue would affect the migration itself, or if it would cause reporting problems only.įirefox users who don't run the browser on Windows 8.1 or older systems do not require the update, as it does not affect them. Mozilla notes here that the client ID is a randomly generated UUID that is used by the Firefox Health Report service. According to the description, migration of Firefox Stable installations to Firefox ESR caused the creation of anew client_id. The linked bug report reveals details on the issue that Mozilla addressed in the release. The official Firefox 115.0.3 changelog lists just a single entry: "Improved migration experience for users switching to the ESR release".
Doing so allows Mozilla to continue supporting the operating systems until late 2024.įirefox ESR is widely used by organizations, as the releases focus on stability and security, and not the integration of the latest features or user interface modifications. First, by continuing to release stable Firefox updates for these operating systems, and then, after the release of Firefox 115, by migrating these installations to the Extended Support Release.
Mozilla has pledged continuous support for Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 systems. Microsoft stopped supporting the operating systems at the beginning of the year and many companies, including those that use Chromium as the source, have already stopped supporting the operating systems. Mozilla revealed plans to migrate Firefox installations on Windows 7, 8 and 8.1 devices to Firefox ESR recently. The Firefox 115.0.3 update for the stable channel should not be confused with the Firefox 115.0.3 update for the browser's ESR channel, which Mozilla released last week.
