Thanks so much for the informative and detailed reply. That pretty much answers every question.
Thanks also for the tip about LMDE. I actually really like Mint, I’m only switching because it’s the only distro I’ve tried and I feel like I should shop around a bit. Going to Debian because while starting my journey I want to shop around with things that work, rather than having to learn how to tinker all at once just to get things running. But if I decide I need Mint back I’ll probably check out LMDE for the hell of it.
You may also just add the LMDE repo (Faye is Bookworm, Gigi is Trixie) or the official Mozilla one and install the standard, non ESR version of Firefox from that one.
