BTW: AFAIK Debian ships firefox and firefox-esr. I don't know the details, but a quick look indicates that they don't have conflicts. I know for sure [1] that Debian uses /usr/lib/firefox-esr/ paths, so it's likely that they allow parallel installation.
What kind of quick look did you take? It does not look to me like Debian ships in parallel, at least, not through standard repos in its latest LTS release: # grep RETT /etc/os-release PRETTY_NAME="Debian GNU/Linux 9 (stretch)" # apt install firefox firefox-esr Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Package firefox is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source E: Package 'firefox' has no installation candidate # apt search ire | grep ox | grep -v l10n v firefox-adblock-plus - v firefox-adblock-plus-element-hiding-helper - v firefox-all-in-one-sidebar - v firefox-autofill-forms - v firefox-automatic-save-folder - v firefox-branding-iceweasel - v firefox-certificatepatrol - v firefox-classic-theme-restorer - v firefox-colorfultabs - v firefox-cookie-monster - v firefox-custom-tab-width - v firefox-debianbuttons - v firefox-dom-inspector - v firefox-downthemall - p firefox-esr - Mozilla Firefox web browser - Extended Support Release (ESR) v firefox-esr-adblock-plus - v firefox-esr-adblock-plus-element-hiding-helper - v firefox-esr-all-in-one-sidebar - v firefox-esr-autofill-forms - v firefox-esr-automatic-save-folder - v firefox-esr-certificatepatrol - v firefox-esr-classic-theme-restorer - v firefox-esr-colorfultabs - v firefox-esr-cookie-monster - v firefox-esr-custom-tab-width - p firefox-esr-dbg - Debugging symbols for Firefox ESR v firefox-esr-debianbuttons - p firefox-esr-dev - Development files for the Gecko engine library v firefox-esr-dom-inspector - v firefox-esr-downthemall - v firefox-esr-firebug - v firefox-esr-firegestures - v firefox-esr-firetray - v firefox-esr-firexpath - v firefox-esr-flashblock - v firefox-esr-flashgot - v firefox-esr-form-history-control - v firefox-esr-foxyproxy-standard - v firefox-esr-gnome-keyring - v firefox-esr-greasemonkey - v firefox-esr-https-everywhere - v firefox-esr-iceweasel-branding - v firefox-esr-itsalltext - v firefox-esr-kwallet5 - v firefox-esr-lightbeam - v firefox-esr-livehttpheaders - v firefox-esr-noscript - v firefox-esr-openinbrowser - v firefox-esr-password-editor - v firefox-esr-pdf.js - v firefox-esr-personasplus - v firefox-esr-perspectives - v firefox-esr-pwdhash - v firefox-esr-refcontrol - v firefox-esr-reloadevery - v firefox-esr-requestpolicy - v firefox-esr-sage - v firefox-esr-scrapbook - v firefox-esr-self-destructing-cookies - v firefox-esr-status4evar - v firefox-esr-stylish - v firefox-esr-tabmixplus - v firefox-esr-toggle-proxy - v firefox-esr-treestyletab - v firefox-esr-ublock-origin - v firefox-esr-uppity - v firefox-esr-useragentswitcher - v firefox-esr-webdeveloper - v firefox-esr-y-u-no-validate - v firefox-esr-zotero - v firefox-firebug - v firefox-firegestures - v firefox-firetray - v firefox-firexpath - v firefox-flashblock - v firefox-flashgot - v firefox-form-history-control - v firefox-foxyproxy-standard - v firefox-gnome-keyring - v firefox-greasemonkey - v firefox-https-everywhere - v firefox-iceweasel-branding - v firefox-itsalltext - v firefox-kwallet5 - v firefox-lightbeam - v firefox-livehttpheaders - v firefox-noscript - v firefox-openinbrowser - v firefox-password-editor - v firefox-pdf.js - v firefox-personasplus - v firefox-perspectives - v firefox-pwdhash - v firefox-refcontrol - v firefox-reloadevery - v firefox-requestpolicy - v firefox-sage - v firefox-scrapbook - v firefox-self-destructing-cookies - v firefox-status4evar - v firefox-stylish - v firefox-tabmixplus - v firefox-toggle-proxy - v firefox-treestyletab - v firefox-ublock-origin - v firefox-uppity - v firefox-useragentswitcher - v firefox-webdeveloper - v firefox-y-u-no-validate - v firefox-zotero - p firefoxdriver - Firefox WebDriver support p firejail - sandbox to restrict the application environment p firetools - Qt frontend for the Firejail application sandbox p fusiondirectory-theme-oxygen - Icon theme Oxygen for FusionDirectory p mail-expire - Utility to extract outdated messages from mbox files p xul-ext-firebug - web development plugin for Firefox p xul-ext-firetray - system tray extension for Firefox, Thunderbird, etc.
