--- Comment #1 from Nicola Mingotti <nmingotti at 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 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.
