Its getting harder and harder, at some point they'll deprecate their last sane ESR, and we'll all get stuck with all their junk.

There are forks which will keep the sanity alive, but I worry about how long Firefox will survive if everyone moves to them, and I have doubts about how well those forks will be maintained after Firefox is gone.

There's still seamonkey, lynx, and I think emacs has a browser built in somewhere.

Konqueror could be an option.
