Package: firefox-esr
Version: 91

 Hi !

 Since I read the firefox 91 have some serious bug/vuln issues

 I perform an update on my system

:~$sudo apt update
Get:1 http://deb.devuan.org/merged chimaera InRelease [33.5 kB]

Ready to upgrade firefox

$ sudo apt-get install firefox-esr
Reading package lists... Done

Reading state information... Done
firefox-esr is already the newest version (91.13.0esr-1~deb11u1).
firefox-esr set to manually installed.

I notice the update only give me the 91.13.0esr version

 If I take a look on the site[1] the 91.13.0esr version is vulnerable
