It is likely that your system requires a web browser.

One way around this is to install the web browser of your choice and then specify your choice as default
Debian has a large number of browsers that will work:
https://wiki.debian.org/WebBrowsers

See https://wiki.debian.org/HOWTO/DefaultWebBrowser. Once the default is in place, then firefox-esr will remove cleanly.
