Hi, I need to use Java within Firefox for some network tools that
require it. Is there a way to use both Firefox Quantum and Firefox ESR
on the same machine?
I spend quite some time to get Quantum to work close to what I and I
don't want to lose that.

Yes, Robin,
What I do is download the AppImage build of Firefox.
https://dl.bintray.com/probono/AppImages/:Firefox-57.0.4.glibc2.3.4-x86_6...
And then rename it firefox-latest, put it somewhere on your $PATH
Then have the ESR version installed by your package manager
You might want to use separate user-profiles... eg make both launchers
use the -P command line option to invoke the Profile Manager window
upon launch. This allows you to have separate profiles for each and
avoid any conflict with addons or differences between versions...
