Subject summarised it pretty well, When looking at available localisations at Firefox ESR of the current branch, English International (British) isn't listed, is there any particular reason for this, is in the works or simply not the priority as of now?

ESR Portable, like Beta and Nightly, is packaged mostly so folks can test out extensions and sites. It's barely used by end users. So it gets a smaller set of languages on purpose. 12 to be specific. That's also why it's 64-bit only instead of Dual Architecture like the stable and legacy 115 branches. Stable is the one mainly used so that's in 42 languages and includes both 32-bit and 64-bit. Same with 115 legacy since that's what Windows 7/8 users use.
Firefox takes the longest for me to package and then upload. I think just the stable branch takes me nearly an hour to package. There's also the upload time. Stable alone is now 6.3GB uploaded via a residential internet connection. And I do Stable, Beta, Dev, Nightly, ESR, and Legacy 115. They all release on the same day for the monthly Tuesday updates. Plus Thunderbird Stable, Beta, and ESR which often release the same day or the next day.
So, I slimmed down the ones that are barely used. I'm the only one packaging most apps.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
Well first of all, huge respects dude, I know it may not seem that is hard-work specially for how time consuming that is.
Now that you're talking about doing the packages & if you don't mind me asking, all this is done via scripts or do you have to use IDEs or anything, I don't really want to ask deeply due to maybe concerns by me being external from the project but is more about how this is done, it just makes me wonder all you have to do for a single package.
And by the way your response was amazing, you gave much info instead of keeping it all for you in the matter of "just gonna give a quick simple answer" it makes me see you do care about what you do and how other perceive it, specially to keep the community informed on how things are working in here by staff & you.
I have scripts for it. It's done under Windows on my main desktop. It's an older machine (i7-7700k) that I've been meaning to migrate to a less old machine (Ryzen 5800x) but haven't had the time. I can't do much else while it's processing (no virtual machines, no crypto packaging, etc).

I see that's cool, not sure if you already own that 5800X, but if not, probably I'd advice you to better take a look at 5900X, it's 12C-24T or even better the 5950X as it's 16C-32T, both are 105W on their TDP, the same as the 5800X. None of the three include CPU Cooler/Heatsink tho.
If you do care about your electricity bill, and still don't mind the 08C-16T then a 5700G would do just fine in my opinion, there's even a lowered TDP version of it, the 5705GE, that it's on the 35W TDP threshold but it may be difficult to find, although some motherboards allow you to select the maximum TDP of a given CPU as well.
When I have those many threads I like to use Process Lasso to isolate/set a manual affinity of program processes to certain number of threads, in case you wondered or might be looking at something similar that keeps the affinity to persist after reboots, shutdowns, etc.
i think john prefers, like me, laptops. just saying, so you know which cpu to recommend him
i think of 16", possibly directly with next win, tho one doesnt know if should wait or use win, with all the s*** they do
i think i saw a good alu laptop but it was not the firm i like
i hope to read two full a4 pages same time, not sure 16" can
i have now a bit less and its pretty shrinked to see them full
thx
i help where i can. maybe you can help me too. threads in account/track.
if you don't want to help don't post crap!
I already own it. I purchased a used desktop a while back but haven't had the time to move everything over.

and dev+testing users can change or add lng and speak english
the 100 test verions and its rythm was too much slow down for other apps

I like your foot sentence, there's a typo at the beginning in case you didn't notice before "I help were I can" I'm assuming you actually meant "I help where/when I can" - Flies away
couldnt you get your lng by my tip or do you just like mobbing?

Oh no, don't get me wrong, it's not about mobbing nor that I couldn't add the language manually, I just wanted to say that when I looked at it, didn't meant to ignore nor to be rude or anything.
sorry, i got it now. you are right, typo
i obviousely eat the h
sorry, too much experience with mobbing, too hard life at moment and just oversaw the missing h by comparing
and sometime you are tired on top
thx
