An updated (non-ESR) version of Firefox would allow me to figure out

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.

Here hear, I say
As an example, I run nightly (shows as v80) on Bullseye. It updates at
least every day, seems like sometimes twice a day, but I may be loosing
track of when I deferred the restart - you get the option of restart now
or later.
Over at least 6 months, I have had 2 instances of it not wanting to
start on reboot. I just download and install the latest version on the
Mozilla site.
I use a separate partition for the apps I use mostly - I multi boot and
/home is mounted noexec.
If that sounds like to advanced there is the beta option as well.
On relection about something said about mixing versions
Firefox-esr starts alongside firefox v80 - just checked
the standard install of Thunderbird in bullseye did NOT start -
complaining about a profile that was set by a newer version (78 in my
case). it was deleted. I have had no problems with the advanced version
I am using since I learnt that I have to point the start menu to the
specific profile.
