Is this issue going to be merged into esr78 as well?

Good question - due to the way that ./mach bootstrap works by grabbing the "latest" version of some packages from system sources (brew, apt, etc), and fetches other tools (based on your current VCS revision) that we self-host on Taskcluster (which get automatically deleted some weeks after creation). For these reasons, ./mach bootstrap isn't guaranteed to work on old Firefox revisions.

Unfortunately, this includes ESR releases.
To build ESR, I'd recommend:

  1. Run ./mach bootstrap from central
  2. Then, check out ESR78 and attempt a build
  3. If configure complains about an incorrect version or missing tool, manually install it (via brew or otherwise)
