Sure. I've had an issue with the Debian Buster's packaged Firefox ESR so
I actually run LibreWolf from an AppImage. LibreWolf is a variant of
Firefox where they remove some things that they think violate your
privacy too much. AppImage is a packaging system where the app is
distributed as a single executable file. So compared to the Firefox
package Mozilla provides, the LibreWolf AppImage is a single file. I
just download the latest to /opt/bin and go...

I don't know if my issue is with Firefox ESR is still in Debian
Bullseye. I'll check that out, at some point...
