Firefox ESR security advisories can be found here:
https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/security/known-vulnerabilities/firefox-esr/

Strangely still no RSS feed for that even though people have
complained about it in the past.

Another reason to prefer simple, lightweight web browsers if you look
at how many of the vulnerabilities are in additional libraries and
functions besides basic HTML downloading and viewing. But then it's
secure things like financial transactions that usually can't be done
with those simple browsers, even though they support the encryption.
