Hi David,

do you have reasons to use Firefox ESR?

I have been using Mozilla's builds for Forefox and I have been happy
with them. On the other hand, builds form Linux distributions lack of
support for non-free parts of Firefox like DRM and these builds don't
allow users to watch protected content like video and video streams.

So my advice is - use the builds from Mozilla.org, it seems that you use
AMD64 architecture which is supported architecture by Mozilla.org

Kind regards
Georgi
