I did install it and it is a single package. It runs fine in parallel 
with the esr release. Hopefully the maintainers will continue the 
practice of having firefox and firefox_esr available and bring it to 
Testing.

On my original reason for wanting to try it, it has the same display 
issues as firefox_esr when used in Responsive Design Mode. Interesting 
Chrome on my antique smart phone has the same problem but Chromium 
doesn't when I use it's "Developer Tools".
