When it comes to the state of packaged web browsers for Debian GNU/Linux, unfortunately it leaves a lot to be desired at the moment and for those wanting to be secure and up-to-date it can mean resorting to proprietary or un-packaged browser builds.

    The post is funny because nearly 2 months ago Firefox ESR had 2 versions as maintained (and you could choose which one you download from an advanced form) and a month ago, with the release of Firefox ESR 91.3.0, the branch for 78 was deprecated.

    In the Debian tracker, the Firefox ESR package upgrade seems stuck by a different reason that the one listed there, it is waiting for tests (not mentioned) to be passed in order to migrate to the last ESR.
