Very near the beginning, every page of www.mozilla.org has a line:
<html class="windows x86 no-js" lang="en" dir="ltr"
 	data-latest-firefox="66.0.5"      data-esr-versions="60.6.3"
 	data-gtm-container-id="GTM-MW3R8V" data-gtm-page-id="Homepage"
 	data-stub-attribution-rate="1.0">

which gives the latest general release and ESR versions.

Over the years, I have found these to be very accurate,
although they can be a few hours ahead of the latest downloadable version
I guess that this may depend on how fast the content delivery network 
propagates new binaries.
