How to update Firefox ESR 115.14.0 to 128.1.0?
I'm a newbie using Debian and Deb 12 ships with Firefox ESR and I've decided to stick with it instead of the regular release, 'cause it breaks some extensions I have. However, I want to upgrade to the latest ESR version, how do I do it? I tried going to (https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/#product-desktop-esr), but the file for linux 64 bit is a .tar.bz2 file, which I have no idea how to compile.

You do do not need to make or compile or such as the tarball is basically an archive you extract and then run the firefox-bin to start Firefox. You can then make a launcher on desktop, or panel or such to the firefox-bin.
If you are the only user then a easy way is to put Firefox in a folder in Home so you can also have read/write permissions to do internal Firefox updates from Mozilla.
If you prefer some form of package build or such like deb, rpm, snap, flatpak then see https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/install-firefox-linux
Note if the Firefox 115.14.0esr came in your Linux distro install then it is a package build. Do not try and mix the tarball build over the package build as that will lead to trouble.

Note that the 115 ESR branch will update automatically to ESR 128 (128.3.0) once ESR 115 reaches EOL with 115.15.0 as the last 115 ESR version.
