References to Firefox and Firefox ESR and their calendar(s)

From Waterfox 56 Release (2017-11-30):

… Waterfox will now remain at 56 for the time being, following the security releases of 59 ESR until it becomes End of Line (Q1 2019). …

https://wiki.mozilla.org/RapidRelease/Calendar#Future_branch_dates shows Firefox 59 – not Firefox ESR 59 – in Q1 2018

– 2019 is not yet tabled there.

@MrAlex94 I guess that you need a couple of corrections to the blog post.

Side note: where previously Mozilla's extended support for 52.x was scheduled to end with Firefox ESR 52.8, https://wiki.mozilla.org/index.php?title=RapidRelease/Calendar&diff=next&oldid=1184274#mw-diff-left-l39 there's now a 52.9. Allowing more time for users of Firefox ESR 52.x to transition to Firefox ESR 60.x.

[MrAlex94]

Yes, each ESR was pushed back by 1 release. Will update :-)

Thanks … to clarify, is the plan for Waterfox ESR 56.x to follow security releases of Firefox ESR 52.x until Firefox ESR 52.9 becomes end of life?

Postscript: logically, I guess not. (We're already following security releases from versions of Firefox greater than 56.)

It's that "59 ESR" and its EOL "Q1 2019" that need clarification.
