I date back to some Quarterdeck thing my first ISP provided way back and
then migrated to Navigator not long after.  The UI isn't really all that
different as I recall.  Regardless, if your installation has the Firefox
115 version then it is not only out of date but is a real security risk.
My /etc/apt/sources.list contains:

deb https://security.debian.org/debian-security bookworm-security main contrib non-free non-free-firmware
deb-src https://security.debian.org/debian-security bookworm-security main contrib non-free non-free-firmware

This will provide your installation with security updates and the latest
Firefox ESR which just received a security update since my last post and
is now at version 128.4.0esr-1~deb12u1.
