Thank you both. I have tried this method. Upon apt updating, i can see:Mozilla apt repository
what would you do to get rid of these?Unpacking firefox-esr (128.0esr~build2) over (115.13.0esr-1~deb11u1) ...

Setting up firefox (128.0.2~build1) ...
I was OK with oldstable Firefox version, but I also would like to use new/latest Firefox (when developer asks or as my main version?).
Yours linked tutorial says:
so maybe i should replace:Configure APT to prioritize packages from the Mozilla repository:
echo '
Package: *
Pin: origin packages.mozilla.org
Pin-Priority: 1000
' | sudo tee /etc/apt/preferences.d/mozilla
Package: *
by
Package: firefox
so i make firefox-esr to remain on oldstable? But maybe it is too late to downgrade, i am unsure about profile compatibility across firefox/esr versions.
This is what I have now on Debian 11 Bullseye (oldstable):
$ firefox-esr --version
Mozilla Firefox 128.0esr
$ firefox --version
bash: firefox: command not found
$ whereis firefox
firefox: /usr/bin/firefox.real /usr/lib/firefox
$ /usr/bin/firefox.real --version
Mozilla Firefox 128.0.2
