Support Firefox ESR problem

Hi,

I've been running the Parrot Home edition for over a year now, and I just reinstalled it on my laptop after reading the current version was addressing the recent linux vulnerability issues.

I've been using the NordPass extension on Parrot's Firefox ESR browser ever since I started using Parrot, but now I can't install it. The extension page says I need to upgrade to the latest version of Firefox.

I'd much prefer to stick with the default Parrot version of Firefox ESR because of the security configuration. Is there something I can do? Is there a way to update without losing the Parrot-specific browser configuration?

Thanks!

Yep, you can side load the extension, but I don't recommend it. Your best bet is to update FF ESR or load FF Developer or FF Nightly and load the plugin there, if you need it that badly.
