Coincidentally I had just seen this in my inbox earlier:
[SECURITY] [DSA 3928-1] firefox-esr security update; Moritz
Muehlenhoff; 2017.08.10
https://lists.debian.org/debian-security-announce/2017/msg00190.html
I'm only seeing Jessie and Stretch get a mention. I'm current and
haven't seen anything about a new update in Buster.

I resemble that fact. If you lose your primary, how are you ever going
to track down a backup when the primary breaks. Never mind, am
smacking my head as fast as I wrote that. Via terminal command line,
one could:
[your-CHOICE-of-package-manager] search web browser
And then install... via that same terminal command line interface.
But if you were in an emergency situation of need, that's when an
immediately accessible secondary browser would matter. *been there,
done that (on dialup)* :)
