That is wrong. ESR 17.0.11 is/was a security update and we are shipping
it in the current TBB. Have a look at the ESR cycle to see that we are
not behind Firefox ESR
(https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/organizations/faq/ "What does the
Mozilla Firefox ESR life cycle look like?"). The new bundles with
Firefox 24 ESR will come out within the next days.
