[Bug 226132] www/firefox-esr can not be installed if www/firefox already is

[bugzilla-noreply]

--- Comment #4 from Graham Perrin  ---
If I recall correctly: 

* installation of ESR parallel to a non-ESR release is disallowed in 
  Tier-1 environments

– I should not expect an allowance with (Tier-3) FreeBSD. 



 there's a verified workaround, which
I do not expect to be ported.

Is this the type of thing that _might_ be realised with flavors?

I vote for this request, too.

Debian Linux, for example, has Firefox ESR by default.
Firefox (latest) can be installed additionally. It is named "firefox.real"
there, and both can be run.

--- Comment #1 from Nicola Mingotti  ---

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 community
I report here what were the proposed actions to fix it. 

-] "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 
programs.

Given that the two products are different and in phase of development it can 
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.
