Thankfully Firefox still offer a LTS variant. I jumped on that train when they moved to GTK3, but said train seems to be running out of track. As of late, Mozilla have done a whole lot to alienate long time _nix users in their attempt at catching Chrome's tail. And you bring up a good point about tightly coupled versions. _nix was in part adopted because things were loosely coupled. But in the pursuit of attention the DEs and various other big projects have steadily pushed for more tight coupling so that they can deliver a certain "commercial" UX.
