Nothing depends on this broken EOL waterfox package anymore.

Upstream only maintains WaterFox, for which the current release version is 
G6.0. The letter 'G' is a (permanent) part of the version string, but not part 
of the application's name.

Upstream also does not maintain 'LTS' / 'ESR' legacy branches. So there is no 
reason to keep any 'waterfox-g*' packages on AUR.

There's a properly named 'waterfox' [a] and 'waterfox-bin' [b] pkg now. (The 
latter is up-to-date, the former is in need of some maintainer attention.)

[a]: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/waterfox
[b]: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/waterfox-bin
