Greetings,
Gentoo provides two flavours of Firefox, one in slot "esr" (Extended
Support Release) and one in slot "rapid" (new release every 16 weeks).
In an attempt to interpret the names of these two flavours I would ex-
pect "esr" to offer new features less frequently than "rapid", but as a
user I would prefer installing the flavour where in particular security
exposures are dealt with more responsibly, that is, where less security
specific bugs occur due to more intensive testing and where those bugs
occuring anyway are generally fixed more rapidly. So which slot should
I choose? Any opinions out there?
Sincerely,
Rainer
