Thanks for the hint. I do not see any need to just restart a well
discussed topic.

Well, that will be possibly true for all those following Firefox
releases and for me there is no visible strategy to get some specific
version to unstable. The link posted here[1] gives advise how to get a
local installation to /opt - this does NOT sound like light at the end
of the tunnel but rather like we have no clue whether we get some recent
Firefox version to unstable in a foreseeable future.
But as I said, I do not want to start another flameware and trust your
word that people are controling the issue.
Kind regards
Andreas.
