You just won't get any new features and newer add-ons and extensions may not be compatible with this ESR version of Mozilla Firefox. The Firefox ESR extension program is targeted to Enterprise and educational institutions, but individuals CAN ignore this and download and install the Firefox ESR versions that, will still run on OS X 10.6-10.8. Mozilla is continuing secuirty versions of an older (version 45) through their Firefox ESR program which will only offer security updates only for versions 45-50 until April 2017. So, that tell me this version of Waterfox maybe done and the last version for older OS X users. Waterfox's last version for OS X 10.7-10.8, is the same version number as Mozilla Firefox. I do not know why Waterfox's developer hasn't replied to my query, but I have a strong, sneaking suspicion that the developer relies heavily on Mozilla's own coding and since Mozilla just ended support for OS X 10.6-10.8 with their last full feature version of Firefox (version 48.0), I have a feeling we older OS X users will NOT be seeing anymore Waterfox upgrades/updates for OS X 10.6-10.8 from this developer, any longer.
