I have been using Mozilla builds of Firefox on Linux for years, and they tend to just be higher quality. They talk about the performance engineering that goes in the build process briefly, but IMHO stability is also improved. It's also updated on restart (see the About window), so you never get issues because changing the libs that can be dynamically loaded right from under a program is never a good idea.

My only wish would be that they finally propose official Linux/aarch64 builds, for example for Asahi Linux.

I see linux/aarch64 builds at https://treeherder.mozilla.org/jobs?repo=mozilla-release&sea... so it seems like they exist. Maybe they aren't packaged for apt?
They are packages by distros, but not considered a tier 1 platform by Mozilla.

I didn't see those builds on your link, only android/windows/osx aarch64 builds, what am I missing ?

Oops, looks like you're right. I mixed up "Linux x64 Shippable" with AArch64.
