..what version firefox-esr do we get on upgrading to Beowulf?
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=944706 is weird,
2 or 3 bugs

..#944706 also reports a "/und" typo in Debian's firefox-esr help
message url: ...
https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/und/firefox/68.2.0/releasenotes/?utm_campaign=whatsnew&utm_medium=firefox-browser&utm_source=firefox-browser

...but these 3 are found ok if you care to look newbie Groklaw-style:
https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/68.2.0/releasenotes/?utm_campaign=whatsnew&utm_medium=firefox-browser&utm_source=firefox-browser
https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/68.3.0/releasenotes/?utm_campaign=whatsnew&utm_medium=firefox-browser&utm_source=firefox-browser
https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/68.4.0/releasenotes/?utm_campaign=whatsnew&utm_medium=firefox-browser&utm_source=firefox-browser

..and the headliner bug crash only happens when you launch it from the
launch menu, and not from the cli, which is suggested as a work-around.


..testing an ascii 2.1 box:
