Trying to install firefox-esr from the Debian Stretch repos fails, due to dpkg-divert conflicts related to oz:

Still hitting this problem. Any temporary workarounds, e.g. updates to the dpkg-divert settings?

Use sudo oz-setup remove --force firefox (ensuring that your /var/lib/oz/cells.d/firefox.json is set to /usr/bin/firefox. If it gives an error: sudo dpkg-divert --remove /usr/bin/firefox

You should then be able to install firefox-esr normally. After that, change the path in your /var/lib/oz/cells.d/firefox.json to /usr/bin/firefox-esr and run sudo oz-setup install firefox

@krz37 Followed your recommendation and Firefox launched. Still, It triggered a series of firewall warnings and even though I've allowed it to connect, it's not being able to navigate.
