Thank you for requesting this. We don't have the resources to update
both of these and as there's no commitment for the ESR past year 2, it
doesn't seem to make sense to package for precise. Please report any
other issues you may find. As for the code, you can take a look the
code in oneiric as it's version 10 still.

Title:
firefox 10 esr needs packaging
Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu:
Won't Fix
Bug description:
Friends, I understand, respect, and accept that Firefox-10-esr will
not be installed as a default package in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (and
likewise Ubuntu 10.04 LTS.)
http://www.chriscoulson.me.uk/blog/?p=111
However, I would very much like to see it packaged (and ideally in the
repositories) so it would be an option for those who so choose and who
are informed of the limitations, arguments, and risks.
Naturally, it is possible to download the tarball containing the
binaries from Mozilla, extract them to /opt (or /usr/local/bin) and
symlink appropriately, but it would be preferable to maintain the
packages in the repositories (for ease of upgrade when each point
release is issued.)
If the decision is made not to package firefox esr in the main or
universe repository, Mr. Coulson, would you consider packaging it in
your ppa (that you are in the process of retiring)? mozillateam
/firefox-stable The ppa name would actually still be appropriate.
I would be glad to help but would need (at least initially) a good
step by step tutorial in getting the right source code files and
uploading them to the ppa.
Thanks so much for your consideration.
Further, kudos for all of your work and sharing of your time and
talents.
