"Debian *does* use git snapshots and other pre-releases for some packages, but not for Firefox ESR." - What do you mean?
The developers use /Version control systems/ ¹ to develop their software, Debian may take the source code directly from the the development tree in order to build packages.
Firefox ² is a special case, Mozilla releases the ESR (Extended Support Release) and the Debian Maintainers make available the package.
