Are you looking for the full release notes or just the number of the 
current/latest version ?

If the current versions are sufficent
https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/security/known-vulnerabilities/firefox-esr/
- and every page I have checked on that server - have:

<html class="windows x86 no-js" lang="en" dir="ltr" 
data-latest-firefox="68.0.1" data-esr-versions="60.8.0 68.0.1" 
data-gtm-container-id="GTM-MW3R8V"  data-stub-attribution-rate="1.0">

which states the latest version(s) of firefox standard and ESR.

This can get a few hours ahead of the download pages (maybe the binaries
take longer to propogate across the world ?) but has been stable over the
many years I have used it (certainly since firefox 3.6 and 4.0 in 2012).
