ESR is for slower feature releases (~annually rather than monthly) that still mostly get regular critical patches in between. That’s an orthogonal topic.
What I meant is that this “major” version of firefox could have been 116.1.0 rather than 117.0.0 because it didn’t introduce any significant features that could warrant a major version bump, “just” bug fixes.

They don’t really use the major.minor.bugfix scheme anymore. If they did, they wouldn’t be at version 117.
I tend to think of them all as minor updates that add up over time, like a rolling release with numbers.
