If you want to switch from 78esr to 91esr you can do that now by manually installing 91esr on top of 78esr. There is a selector to choose that download:

The last major update for the old Firefox 78 ESR branch will be 78.15.0 ESR on Oct 5th (when Fx 91.2.0 ESR is released also) so after that you should get an update to Fx 91 ESR when 91.3.0 ESR is released. Otherwise you will have to manually install Fx 91.1.0 esr as mentioned.

thank you, i did that already by downloading the 91ESR from FTP *yes.

It seems to load sites a bit slower than preferred, but otherwise i am very pleased with outlook and also with enahnced/restored pdf/printing .

personal best would be speed of ff3.5 or ff45 plus the newer features of ff91 esr combined :)

If you mean https://ftp.mozilla.org then that is not FTP as Mozilla has not supported the ftp:// protocol ftp://ftp.mozilla.org for their downloads since August 5th, 2015.

Besides Mozilla prefers people use https://archive.mozilla.org/ instead over https://ftp.mozilla.org
