--- Comment #1 from Nicola Mingotti <nmingotti@gmail.com> ---

I have already installed in FreeBSD-11.1 "firefox-58" from package.
Trying to install also "firefox-esr" from package I got this errore message
------------
pkg: firefox-58.0.2,1 conflicts with firefox-esr-52.6.0_2,1 (installs files
into the same place).  Problematic file: /usr/local/bin/firefox
------------

After a discussion on "forums.freebsd.org" with other members of the commun=
ity
I report here what were the proposed actions to fix it.=20

-] "firefox" and "firefox-esr" files should go to separate paths e.g.
/usr/local/lib/firefox
/usr/local/lib/firefox-esr

-] "firefox" and "firefox-esr" should not share the same user profile.
This to avoid possible incompatibilities in profile between the two=20
programs.

Given that the two products are different and in phase of development it ca=
n=20
important to test a web application on both of them, It could be useful to =
have
both installable and running together on the same system.
