To update Firefox, download and install Firefox 81 directly from Mozilla, or update it when prompted to do so in Firefox. Here's how to do it. When it's ready, click Restart to Update Firefox and you are ready to go. Updating macOS is easy too. Just launch the App Store on your Mac. Go to the Updates tab and wait till it shows you all the new software versions available. If you see new updates for macOS, click Update and follow the restart instructions.

- As a former computer tech of 15 years working on getting back in; the idea of using default Firefox or install ESR for a Firefox that doesn’t update that fast, basically an ultimatum of choosing one side or the other, removing user customization is VERY stupid and is the sole reason why the tech industry used to be good — fix now, ship.
- Download Mozilla Firefox for Mac OS X (Free) Released in late June, Java for Mac OS X 10.6 Update 5 delivered improved compatibility, security, and reliability by updating Java SE 6 to 1.6.026.
On June 30th, macOS 10.9, 10.10 and 10.11 users will automatically be moved to the Firefox Extended Support Release (ESR).
While Apple doesn’t have an official policy governing security updates for older macOS releases, their ongoing practice has been to support the most recent three releases (i.e. version N, N-1, and N-2). The last security update applicable to macOS 10.11 was made available nearly 2 years ago in July 2018 (https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201222). Unsupported operating systems receive no security updates, have known exploits, and can be dangerous to use, which makes it difficult and less than optimal to maintain Firefox for those versions.
Users do not need to take additional action to receive those updates. On June 30th, these macOS users will automatically be moved to the ESR channel through application update.
