Need a link that actually points to Firefox 52.8.0esr, and NOT 60.0esr

Got an update notice today to update my Firefox 52.7.4esr to 52.8.0esr. Unfortunately ALL the links that I have tried, end up pointing me to a version 60.0esr. I believe this is Quantum based, which I want nothing to do with, since most of my add-ons won't work with that. This would be for Win 8.1 and Win 10 platforms, and I use the 32-bit English (US) incarnation.

Can someone provide me with a link to what should be "Firefox Setup 52.8.0esr.exe" ...??

Thank you !!

Cheers ...

hi, https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/organizations/all/ contains links for 60 and 52esr as well (see the top right for a toggle). please note that sticking to 52 isn't a long-term solution though as support for it will end after august this year...

Thank you, I had never noticed that toggle before, having found links that would take me directly to the page for the version I was interested in.

As for post-August ... I imagine it will be quite awhile until bit-rot sets in badly enough, that the final Firefox version becomes unusable for me, and I expect that by then a new fork will appear to fill the void. Or possibly Pale Moon or some such will do the trick. And of course, I can always dig into the code myself to make (simple) fixes. Then there are Chrome, and Vivaldi, and ...

Thanks again for getting me the proper file ...!!
