What is wrong with Firefox "extended support release" ESR ?
Not op, but nothing significant IMO unless you're a web developer (in which case it's worth considering using the dev edition instead) or just want the latest features.
The ESR on Debian gets updated reasonably frequently with backported security patches and bug fixes
Not all security issues get CVEs. Thats only the security parts. Its old as balls, and Firefox never had any breaking bugs for me, thats the "old as balls" part
I get better performance from the release version than from ESR. The ESR version in Debian has always been slower than the release version for me. Especially on YouTube.
EDIT: For those that doubt: https://www.reddit.com/r/debian/comments/z6655k/how_to_make_firefox_esr_work_with_youtube/
