firefox-esr is installed on my system (Debian 11 with Xfce) as a dependency.
     $ grep -i "firefox" /var/log/syslog
Returns nothing on my system, but I don't use KDE.

Does this command show anything useful when 'firefox-esr' is running?
     $ systemctl --user status

Systemd's manual describes scopes¹ as special units, so for now I think 
this is how KDE runs and manages applications.
It sure looks suspicious in the logs.
