Comment:

 What makes you believe this is a piece of Firefox code? I rather think
 that's something on the website that is alarming you (see that the
 notification bar is overlapping the underlying content), because it is not
 expecting to see a Firefox 60 anymore (which Tor Browser is based upon).
 While one could argue that the ESR series is less secure than the default
 release I think it is wrong to say it is critically out of date.
 Nevertheless, I think there is not much we can do unless we switch to
 mozilla-release. We plan to tackle that problem at least for mobile after
 Tor Browser 9 gets out I think.

 Closing this as "not a bug" as this is strictly speaking a website issue
 and not a Tor Browser bug.
