Discovered through Firefox 122 release notes, for people who like to run Firefox obtained from upstream, they now get another choice, a .deb installation complete with APT repository setting, downloaded straight from https://packages.mozilla.org/. Might be useful for some people here.

I'd also recommend trying firefox-esr, which is an older FF release (115.something) that still gets all the security updates. For those of us who don't like the newer FF 'features' it's great. IN Debian it's the default choice. A buncha smart geeks there IMO.
