popcon is no longer a criteria for key packages, which makes
firefox-esr subject to autoremoval that would be permanent
for bookworm at this point of the freeze.

Currently firefox-esr is on the autoremoval list due to 5 RC bugs.

While my personal opinion is that Debian should follow Ubuntu
which is now providing Chromium and Firefox only as snap
(perhaps using a different similar technology like flatpak),
not providing Firefox as a package in bookworm due to autoremoval
based on some random RC bug would be wrong.

If for some reason firefox-esr would intentionally not be shipped
in bookworm, then reverse dependencies currently on the autoremoval
list should get RC bugs for getting the chance to adapt.

It would be good if a release team member could review which RC bugs
in firefox-esr should be downgraded/ignored/fixed for bookworm.

firefox-esr is no longer on the auto-removal list. So let's consider
this bug resolved.
