Dear Maintainer,
   * What led up to the situation?
	Attempting to use web-based discord.
   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
	Trying to join a channel lead to an Authentication-Joining loop that wouldn't resolve. Looking at the documentation this is because the minimum supported version of Firefox for Discord is 142 - Firefox-ESR is 140.
   * What was the outcome of this action?
	Submitting this wishlist item after searching for non-ESR firefox in the apt store proved ineffective..
   * What outcome did you expect instead?
	I expected the ability to add the latest version of firefox so I could keep working. Generally I support using ESR-flavoured packages but in this case it means I confer no stability benefit as it doesn't meet functional requirements
