In the sense of "stable" as Debian "stable": for a period of
around 2-3 years, the software at the beginning is about the
same as the software at the end, modulo security fixes.

Firefox and Chrom[e|ium] are changing too rapidly for that to make
sense, in my opinion. Mozilla's own ESR program doesn't even
qualify, as they only maintain the release for "more than a
year".
