State of the Thunder 7: Extended Support Release 140 (and explaining our four channels)
About this episode
In this latest State of the Thunder, we're discussing the upcoming yearly ESR, 140.0, which is due out June 24, 2025. We explain our numbering convention and our different channels, which comes from Firefox, and the difference between ESR, Release, Beta, and Daily. Find out why we're encouraging to use the monthly Release channel, but how this won't take anything away from ESR. Learn more about what channel is right for you (especially if you use add-ons), how to help us with using Beta and Daily, and how to safely move between ESR and Release. And as always, we finish with a community shoutout!
