Summary	0004416: Please Provide a Native non-ESR Package for Firefox
Description	Kali's default firefox package installs Firefox ESR (Extended Support Release). Unfortunately, the version of Firefox ESR currently available in 2017.3 doesn't support headless mode: $ firefox -headless Simply opens a GUI window. I've addressed this with Mozilla and the following is their response: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1423640 Please provide a native Kali package that allows for the installation of Firefox latest (non-ESR) in addition to firefox-esr.
Steps To Reproduce	https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1423640

rhertzog 2017-12-07 09:08 administrator ~0007672	I'm sorry but we won't do that. You will have to wait for the next ESR release. Or you can pick "firefox" (non ESR) out of Debian Unstable.
