I don't know what you mean by "super stable", but you can download the tarball from here https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/#product-desktop-esr
extract the contents, move to /opt,

Code: [Select]

sudo mv firefox-esr /opt and add it to whisker menu, so it is available there, that way you can have both, or if you want to remove the other one, launch Linux Lite Terminal and type

Code: [Select]

sudo apt autoremove --purge firefox type in your password when asked, hit Enter, and that's it.

Firefox ESR does not include the most recent features, but it does include the most recent security and stability . Downgrade protection has been added to Firefox to prevent data corruption in user profiles. From the Firefox ESR download page, you may get the Firefox Extended Support Release for your operating system and language.

Yes, looks like it. Is Firefox still around in your system? If it's not, then you did remove it. My first statement, "I don't know what you mean", was about the term "super stable" you used. I use Firefox beta, and for me, it works well; no bugs or issues whatsoever. At some point I even used FF developer edition, but that one was quite buggy.
