Then you may wish to try Mozilla's apt repository. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/in ... efox-linux

But our current mozillabinaries packages are statically built by...Mozilla.

This is relatively new, so we may think of switching to their apt repository if it works instead of wrapping their static binaries into debs. It'd be ironic if their apt repo is actually the same exact thing we are currently doing, but hey, more time for our own packaging!

Mozilla apps are built using the Rust compiler, and require just about the most recent version, too...except for the older LTS firefox-esr version in the released Debian repos. This makes the cutting edge releases impracticable to compile except on the testing and unstable Debian development versions.

Code:

$ apt policy firefox-esrfirefox-esr:  Installed: (none)  Candidate: 115.15.0esr-1~deb12u1  Version table:     115.15.0esr-1~deb12u1 500        500 http://security.debian.org/debian-security bookworm-security/main amd64 Packages     115.14.0esr-1~deb12u1 500        500 http://deb.debian.org/debian bookworm/main amd64 Packages
