Using [Ted Campbell’s suggestion here](https://discourse.mozilla.org/t/upgrading-embedding-from-esr78-any-important-changes/78593/3), I figure I can avoid having to figure out how to get a specific ESR in Mercurial by downloading from [ftp.mozilla.org](http://ftp.mozilla.org) directly. So my current plan is to overwrite my current 112 build with the contents of the 60.9.0 ESR package and see what happens next.
