To my understanding, unstable has 91.0.1-1 and experimental has
91.0.1-2 as seen in https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/firefox.

The buildd status page for the firefox package [0] shows that the
builders have the package in state BD-Uninstallable.  That means that
the dependencies required for the package cannot be installed on the
build machines, preventing the package from being built.  Looking at the
next upload, version 91.0.1-2 to experimental [1], its changelog entry
is:

firefox (91.0.1-2) experimental; urgency=medium

  * Upload to experimental for cbindgen 0.19 and rustc >= 1.51.

That would make it seem that if you want firefox 91, you will need to
enable experimental sources on your system and install from there.  Or
you can wait for the dependencies to make their way to unstable (will
require the maintainers to upload them into unstable) and then the
buildds will be able to build and distributed the newer firefox packages
in unstable.

Regards,

Or you can download v92.0.b9 from 

https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/developer/

The button links to:

https://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-devedition-latest-ssl&os=linux64&lang=en-US


Extract the tar.bz2 on to a partition with exec priveledges.  Start it
by running     

path/extracted/to/firefox/firefox

I don't recall having to mark it executable, but it's been a couple of
years.

All the best
