</span>Understood. I think we need to do is ask some tough questions to find<br>
a way to finally make available the firefox-esr.<br>
Someone already asks a question I think it's very tough: how firefox<br>
and firefox-esr can live together? Maybe just a different namespace<br>
with /etc/alternatives symlinks. Actually could be a good idea because<br>
allows more integration with Firefox Beta and Firefox Nightly provided<br>
by Mozilla Team. Mozilla Nightly is in a different namespace, but Beta<br>
updates the stable version which isn't a good way since I can't test<br>
beta without lose stable.<br>
