Details

Currently app.update.url.manual is hardcoded to https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/. That means that when an ESR build fails, the user is redirected to the regular Firefox. For ESR, we should change that preference to point to: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/organizations/
ESR builds set "ac_add_options --enable-official-branding" so the relevant file is https://hg.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla-esr60/file/default/browser/branding/official/pref/firefox-branding.js#l25. MOZ_UPDATE_CHANNEL has value 'esr' in those builds so the if block could be extended to avoid intervention each time we cut an esr branch.
Priority: -- → P3
Component: General → Application Update
Product: Firefox → Toolkit

This pref lives outside of toolkit in browser so fixing product and component

Component: Application Update → Preferences
Product: Toolkit → Firefox

The app.update.url.details and app.releaseNotesURL preferences should probably be changed at the same time as well

Can we make this URL:

https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/
