 Very good. (Treat it as a part of the browser.)

 Why don't you want system add-ons to update as any other add-ons?
 As for e10srollout, it stays at version 1.9 on esr channel, but could be
 changed if policy changed.

 It's awaiting approval for esr52 and, as many distros are affected, will,
 probably, be approved.

 Are you going to switch the channel from 'release' to 'esr'?
 It would help transition from ff-esr to ff in the future.
 Note: Mozilla has transferred Vista and XP users to 'esr' channel in FF52.
 As for e10srollout, `esr` policy means no e10s on Windows XP.
