After several attempts and failures, I finally got the latest firefox version,  non-Devuan repositories end up breaking down the system, and many of those repositories don't work.

       Steps to get the latest firefox version from a tarball package:

1.   Download the package and unpack it.

2.   You decide if you uninstall the old version, in my case I uninstalled it and it went very well.

3.   Copy the run  file of firefox to the /usr/bin/ directory ( the delete old executing file in my case)

4.   Create a folder in the /usr/share/ directory and deposit the entire folder of the unzipped firefox file, example:

# cd /usr/share/
# mkdir devuan-firefox/

# cd /home/user/Download/
# cp firefox /usr/share/devuan-firefox/

5.    Create a file with a name you choose for .desktop and add these comments to the file  created, example:

# cd /usr/share/devuan-firefox/firefox/
# nano devuan-firefox.desktop

[Desktop Entry]
Name=Firefox web
Comment=Browse the World Wide Web
GenericName=Web Browser
X-GNOME-FullName=Firefox Web browser
Exec=/usr/share/devuan-firefox/firefox/firefox %u
Terminal=false
X-MultipleArgs=false
Type=Application
Icon=/usr/share/devuan-firefox/firefox/browser/icons/mozicon128.png
Categories=Network;WebBrowser;
MimeType=text/html;text/xml;application/xhtml+xml;application/xml;application/vnd.mozilla.xul+xml;application/rss+xml;application/rdf+xml;image/gif;image/jpeg;image/png;x-scheme-handler/http;x-scheme-handler/https;
StartupWMClass=Firefox
StartupNotify=true

6.    Locate in the directory of the created folder that deposited the uncompressed firefox folder, and pass this command with the .desktop file  that created it,   by example:

$  cd /usr/share/devuan-firefox/firefox/
$  sudo desktop-file-install devuan-firefox.desktop

8.    Copy the firefox icon file from the directory icons where it is located, to the /usr/share/applications/ directory and name with the name of tha application, example:

$ cd /usr/share/devuan-firefox/firefox/browser/icons/
$ sudo cp mozicon128.png /usr/share/applications/devuan-firefox.png

9.     Create the symbolic link to the path where the file run from the application,   example:

$ cd /usr/local/bin/
$ sudo ls -s /usr/share/devuan-firefox/firefox/firefox

              That's it, with that you will see the firefox icon in your applications of start. smile

Edited:
This installation method is correct, I have just received an update from Firefox  and I have given permission to automatically update the latest version. Enjoy.

Is the system seeing it, can you mount it manually?

The system detect  on the terminal to Huawei,  but it does not display on the XFCE desktop, only the CD-ROM of huawei  is displayed on the desktop.
The CD-ROM can be manually mounted but nothing can be done because thunar does not detect the system of  the hardware of huawei. How to detect huawei in thunar and mount manually?

Hello greenjeans!

Installed the  libmtp-common, libmtp-runtime, libmtp9, and there is nothing else with respect to libmtp, of the libmtp package those are all the first mentioned? The   package  mtp-tools and mtpfs are installed already,  and does not detect the device on the screen.

I don't know what happens with the systems of XFCE desktop , the devices are not automatically mounted on THUNAR, in this case Huawei is not displayed on the screen, in the terminal if it detects Huawei. 

With respect to the cable, this only happens on XFCE and thunar, other  desktops of Linux and Windows , if you mount it automatically and open the Huawei folder automatically.

Hello community!

Huawei Smartphone  are not being mounted by Thunar but as you can see below, via the lsusb command, the system is seeing them. The system only detects in the screen the CDROM of Huawei  and detects nothing else, nothing else can be done, help?

Have you done an update & upgrade of firefox-esr?

Only update the system in this way # apt-get update, but firefox-esr is not updated and is in the old version of 52 in the devuan repositories.

you can temprarily use the debian sid repository, I believe 56.0-2 is on, and see if you can upgrade just this.

deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ sid main
or
deb tor://vwakviie2ienjx6t.onion/debian/ sid main

My miyo-ascii-sidvicious-frankenstein has yet to break.

Usually when you put other repositories in this case of Debian systemd, the system breaks down and gives many errors.

you may need the debian keyring if you don't have it, install it and then update again.

The only repositories in the sources.list file are these and none more.
