I have to use a web browser.
> For something the size of Fx, that’s probably not happening as much as you think, unless it’s something publicly announced in changelogs. Your distribution maintainers aren’t reviewing every line of code changes between Fx releases, ESR or not.
Reading and respoding to the changelogs is substantially better than no review.

No reason to take the path of most resistance with something that makes you unhappy. >Reading and respoding to the changelogs is substantially better than no review. No, not really. The reason this stuff with snap is happening to begin with is because distro maintainers don't have the resources to maintain a ton of patches on top of a giant browser that releases every month, even if they knew there was something objectionable in the changelog there may not be anything they can do about it in a reasonable amount of time.
