To make it a little more complicated I need to have an extension
that open some URLs in Internet Explorer. With 52 ESR we have
IEView, a XUL extension. Mozilla published a "Legacy browser
support" extension that can do the same, but it only seems
compatible with Firefox 68 ESR. If I need to update first to 60 ESR
how can I do it?<br>
<br>
The only thing I can think of is:<br>
1a. Uninstall Firefox 52 ESR<br>
1b. Install Firefox 60 ESR<br>
1c. Install "IE View WE" extension (buggy)<br>
.... wait users to use 60 for a bookmarks/history migration ....<br>
2a. Uninstall "IE View WE" extension<br>
2b. Uninstall Firefox 60 ESR<br>
2c. Install Firefox 68 ESR<br>
<br>
<b>NIGHTMARE!</b><br>

<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">Version 68 really should be able to read old database files from before
version 60. Obviously the conversion is possible, since the two step
upgrade works (I presume).
Otherwise, I can easily see some users trying to go from (e.g.) 52 to
68, losing years of bookmarks and then saying: "Firefox is junk, I'm
switching to Chrome".

<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">Yeah, definitely need to go to 60 before 68 or you will lose
history/bookmarks (changes to the database).
And if you uninstall 32/reinstall 64, the directory name will be an
issue unless you use Program Files (x86) for both.
I did add a GPO for LegacyProfiles for Windows only. Other platforms,
you need to set the environment variable

installation," where by installing to a different location
(%programfiles% vs %programfiles(x86)%) will cause Firefox to
create a NEW user profile, per user. Setting the environmental
variable "MOZ_LEGACY_PROFILES" (to 1, or anything) will avoid this,
but I don't recall if it made it to GPO.

When distributing Firefox with SCCM, is it more secure to update
previous version by installing the new version over it, or is it
better to previously uninstall the old version? I've read people
doing one or other thing, but is there an official
