Perhaps you might be interested in subscribing to, and, posting to, the 
firefox mailing list, and/or the mozilla mailing list, at
https://groups.io/g/firefox-support
and
https://groups.io/g/mozilla
respectively.

my cellphone firefox installation, so, it appears to be a problem not 
limited to Debian installations of firefox.
