This is a wish-list feature but I'm running Debian/Bullseye and the only 
version of Firefox is the ESR one. It's stable but it has display bugs 
that I'd like to if they are fixed in a newer version.

While generally the pages I create look pretty much the same on whatever 
browser I use, I have one where firefox_esr seems to reverse two columns 
(bootstrap 4 col class within a row class). Chromium gets the columns in 
the right order but has a different idea of vertical spacing than 
firefox_esr when looking through a small-device filter - plus it crashes 
within a minute of starting (I don't mind that because Chromium is just 
a pop-up generator anyway).

Strangely, the version of Chrome on my antique smartphone seems to agree 
with firefox_esr, as does the version of Firefox for Android that I'm using.

An updated (non-ESR) version of Firefox would allow me to figure out 
which spacing is the more accurate. I expect outside of the Debian 
world, most people are not using the ESR release and most are probably 
more current than what I'm using.

Anyway, just putting it out there that a non-ESR version might be nice...
