Uninstall firefox-esr and install firefox.  From Debian.  It is currently at 
47.0.  

# aptitude remove firefox-esr && aptitude install firefox

If there is still a problem, try a new profile to see if it is your 
configuration files that are causing the problem.

Or, if you don't care about your configuration files, purge firefox-esr in the 
first place.
