Do not pull modification from Element web which breaks Firefox ESR (i.e support Firefox ESR)

[b3]

It seems that yesterday some Element web developer applied a policy which breaks the use of Element web for a lot of users as seen in Element web issue 27682: Element web is no more usable under Firefox Extended Support Release (ESR). Firefox ESR is the Firefox version distributed by Debian stable, RHEL, etc. It is also the base used by TorBrowser!

SchildiChat is not yet affected.

I do not know the pull strategy from Element Web to SchildiChat but I think it would be a good strategy to enforce Firefox ESR support as asked in Element web issue 27684 whatever Element decision concerning that issue will be.

Not supporting Firefox ESR implies to prevent using the tool for a lot of users (for instance all students of numerous universities, or administration, where Debian stable is the installed OS).

Since we're quite behind with merging upstream releases and it has become quite difficult to do so, there won't be any new schildichat-desktop release until we have something good enough started fresh on the latest Element release. So there won't be any updates soon and you'll be fine for a while.
Once we get running again, we likely won't have the resources to deviate from Element for changes of this kind though.
