FF 24 ESR just hit the streets three days ago. The packaging team is probably still trying to assimilate it into M3. That's just my guess, based upon the fact that all the Mageia team members are volunteers.

Firefox 17 is a ESR release as well.

Its unlikely that your parents will 'need' the latest version of firefox. IMO sometimes people spend too much time worring about having the newest version of software....
