An updated (non-ESR) version of Firefox would allow me to figure out which
spacing is the more accurate. I expect outside of the Debian world, most
people are not using the ESR release and most are probably more current than
what I'm using.
You're not disallowed from installing Firefox from Mozilla, it's
just not packaged because it updates at least once a month,
and that would violate "stable" policy.
I recommend uncompressing it in /opt if you need to offer it to
multiple users, or anywhere in your /home if you don't.

Not disallowed but not exactly allowed. I need to go outside the Debian
repositories. Having a firefox and firefox_esr options would allow for
both. I don't think this is the only package that could benefit from
having both an esr and regular version.
