The buildd status page for the firefox package [0] shows that the
builders have the package in state BD-Uninstallable. That means that
the dependencies required for the package cannot be installed on the
build machines, preventing the package from being built. Looking at the
next upload, version 91.0.1-2 to experimental [1], its changelog entry
is:
firefox (91.0.1-2) experimental; urgency=medium
* Upload to experimental for cbindgen 0.19 and rustc >= 1.51.
That would make it seem that if you want firefox 91, you will need to
enable experimental sources on your system and install from there. Or
you can wait for the dependencies to make their way to unstable (will
require the maintainers to upload them into unstable) and then the
buildds will be able to build and distributed the newer firefox packages
in unstable.
