I've been trying out Firefox 60 in Debian Stretch. One of the new features I noticed is the ability to remove the title bar- something I have always considered a waste of space. You do this using the tick box at the bottom of the Customise page:
Firfox then looks like this:
Firefox stable (60 at time of writing) is not available from the Debian repositories- I downloaded the stable version and extracted it in my
/Downloads folder. I'm running it from there at the moment, although desktop integration is possible. Details on the
Debian Wiki.
Debian Stretch itself has Fireox ESR 52. Mozilla has released Firefox ESR 60, but I don't know when or if that will arrive in Debian Stretch- Firefox now requires Rust, and won't compile in Stretch because the version of Rust is not current, and Debian Stable does not include programs that wil not compile inside Debian Stable.
That at least is the situation as I understand it. Whether Firefox ESR 52 will receive security updates for the life of Stretch, or ESR 60 somehow be backported I do not know.
