firefox-esr stopped working after June 18 update

It's way too small for me to read. In addition I've had more failures loading pages when clicking on a link in a page that did load. Not sure what it's all about and why firefox would have these problems. The desktop firefox and the android firefox are not affected. Chromium doesn't have this issue and neither does cog (which works very well on the pine phone with CogWebRun).
I'd like to get a hold of the latest firefox arm64 and give that a try, does anyone have a download link?

Didn't find anything about a known bug in Firefox ESR (I also don't have this problem on my regular Firefox on Desktop Linux)...
Warning: technical talk.
Apparently, Firefox ESR seems to want to push the HTTP/2 protocol in a similar way as how Mozilla and Google pushed HTTPS a few years ago.
The HTTP/2 protocol must be enabled in the web server software itself (which is literally 1 extra keyword in nginx, not sure about Apache).
I have confirmed it with 1 website I know has HTTP/2 enabled, and the warning triangle didn't appear.
This is why a warning triangle appears even on HTTPS websites if the server administrator didn't enable HTTP/2 (yet).
