Firefox ESR exists for exactly this reason. It gets periodic security fixes but not much else and you can stay on the same major version for a year or so. https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/enterprise/

> Extended Support Release (ESR): receives major updates on average every 42 weeks

It feels like they're just taking the piss when the life cycle of an extended support release is just 42 weeks.

Still a step in the right direction though.

The lifetime of each ESR is one year, there's an intentional 10 week overlap.
