Hello, Fedora like openSUSE and Ubuntu provides only Firefox rapid release, I want to known why there is no firefox-esr in the repository?

In Fedora v25, the size of firefox package is 84MB !! and there is no Delta RPM for it to reduce the size of up-dates, because it is rapid release, its life-cycle is short and there is many up-date for it, see:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firefox_version_history#Release_history

most times at less than one week, firefox rapid is going to new minor version, specially see "Firefox 43".

I really can't download 84MB to up-date firefox several times per month!! and there are millions of people that have my situation.

To solve this problem there is two option:

1. firefox-esr
2. Delta RPM for the Firefox rapid releases.

Excuse me for bad English. Thanks for help.
