I saw the ESR part - I assumed the author (mistakenly?) copied firefox-esr's description. As for the dependents, it seems the malware package provided `firefox`, meaning all dependencies on `firefox` can instead be fulfilled by `firefox-patch-bin`. Perhaps the idea was to fool package managers into showing it as one of the alternatives.
