With the 91 ESR series, firefox no-longer works on ftp: links. Also,
on a few machines which have been adequately updated for the necessary
dependencies 91.0 fails to build with a message that a python check on
libgkrust.a identified 1 networking function (getsockname) in the rust
static library. The reason for this is not understood, but systems with
binutils-2.37, gcc-11.2.0 and glibc-2.34 appear to be unaffected.

If that is important to you, as a temporary measure (on non-glibc-2.34
systems) you can continue to use <xref linkend="firefox-legacy"/>
while you explore alternative approaches.
