I have gotten v115 on my Windows 7 machine. "Help > About" doesn't say
anything about the ESR channel, like v52 did on Win XP.

Your systems are too old.
Win7:
https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/115.0/releasenotes/
Win XP:
https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/53.0/releasenotes/

Just don't rely on "Help > About".

That's very welcome, the repeat loop for closing multiple tabs before
was a ball-ache

Yes, it's a nice feature. I frequently want to close multiple tabs

I missed that you seemed to misunderstand my mention of XP. That was
what happened years ago, not currently. I'm concerned about w7 now.

Andy:

Hold down Control, then select tabs you wish to close. Then right click
on one of the tabs to be closed and chose Close Tabs.

With this new feature, I cannot select multiple tabs. Holding down Control
allows me to drag the tabs into a different order!

I wasn't aware of that, it would have done the job before.

but you can click the cross against them in pretty rapid succession

for me that drags the tab into a new window ... unless you meant Alt
which dies seem to re-order them?

Thou art not yet on the ESR channel.

When 115.0 came out, the release notes said Windows 7 & 8 users would be
automatically mover to ESR. My W7 system got that update, and this one.
However it has NOT updated to ESR.

Haven't you ever approved a document to be sent to the printer which has
a noticeable error on a prominent early page?

I updated a Web page a few days ago and spotted an error on the very
first line; I left out punctuation. I fixed the error and uploaded a new
page.

It happens.

I didn't read Firefox's change log. No comments about your hypothesis. :)

I and possibly we ALWAYS expect big companies, with lots of expert
programmers and designers, to be extremely, professionally careful about
their works.

Human beings can engineer flood mitigation anticipating that it will keep
buildings safe from flooding. Mother Nature laughs at our expectations.

There are always going to be errors, incompatibilities, and unintended
consequences. We can always expect minor versions to be released shortly
after major versions are released. Something will inevitably be
discovered later.

If these fixes are useful, this is a good thing, yes?

Programs like web browsers are 100% man-made things and has nothing to
do with hardware and mother nature! You made a BAD, WRONG comparison!

Shouldn't you question the capabilties of these software companies? Are
they just terrorists in disguise? :)

Maybe we should add A.I. to Firefox so that MORE strange, dangerous bugs
or features could be introduced?? Well... :)
