Yes, did that.

Not sure if you are saying to upgrade all packages or to use 'upgrade
firefox-esr'?  If the former, I did not want to do that.  Although I use
Debian testing, I treat it with respect and only upgrade when I really
need something that has changed (or for security reasons).

Yes, I guess I could be extreme and try this if everything else
fails.  Thank you.
