firefox-esr moving from version 78 to 91

I guess it's understandable, as I haven't been able to find clear changelogs for version 78 in a while. There were release notes for some versions, but I have no idea how to get to them from the Firefox website. I'm not really sure if it was officially declared unsupported, finally. I was really unhappy with some design choices when I tried the 90ish versions before, though.

Well, building version 91.3.0esr now... maybe I can undo some things with userChrome.css or something. One of the major problems I remember was having a very hard time telling which was the active tab.

Anyone else still using firefox-esr and have opinions about it? I have a feeling I'll be hopping browsers for a bit.
 
my 5-cent, firefox-esr is fine browser.
In quarterly : DISTVERSION= 91.3.0
With CTRL-TAB you can cycle active tabs.
(Note: Many browsers still depend on python2 for build, not firefox-esr)
 
Yeah, version 78 works great for me, but they changed a lot in 90+. One positive thing from the upgrade though is possible hardware acceleration for videos (with gstreamer iirc). I don't know if that's working on FreeBSD, though. I'm mainly worried about the UI changes, which from what I read are sometimes irreversible now.
 
Oh, it is in the release notes... "This is the final planned ESR78 release. Eligible users will be automatically updated to the ESR91 release on November 2."
Well, RIP.

One thing that annoyed the hell out of me in FF91 ESR (though on Windows10) was the spacing between bookmarks/menuitems.
Had to use a userChrome.css to get it back how i like it
