I expect outside of the Debian world, mostpeople are not using the ESR release and most are probably more current thanwhat I'm using.You're not disallowed from installing Firefox from Mozilla, it's just not packaged because it updates at least once a month, and that would violate "stable" policy. I recommend uncompressing it in /opt if you need to offer it to multiple users, or anywhere in your /home if you don't. -dsr-Here hear, I sayAs an example, I run nightly (shows as v80) on Bullseye. It updates at least every day, seems like sometimes twice a day, but I may be loosing track of when I deferred the restart - you get the option of restart now or later.Over at least 6 months, I have had 2 instances of it not wanting to start on reboot. I just download and install the latest version on the Mozilla site.I use a separate partition for the apps I use mostly - I multi boot and /home is mounted noexec.If that sounds like to advanced there is the beta option as well.
On relection about something said about mixing versions Firefox-esr starts alongside firefox v80 - just checkedthe standard install of Thunderbird in bullseye did NOT start - complaining about a profile that was set by a newer version (78 in my case). it was deleted. I have had no problems with the advanced version I am using since I learnt that I have to point the start menu to the specific profile.
