Package: firefox-esr
Version: 68.2.0esr-1~deb10u1
Severity: important

After upgrade from stretch to buster and starting firefox-esr, I was
greeted with a dialog box saying "You've launched an older version of
Firefox", refusing to use the existing profile.

Turns out that as a result of using the latest stretch version, the file
.mozilla/firefox/d0e3mzzp.default/compatibility.ini contained:

[Compatibility]
LastVersion=68.2.0_20191106112211/20191106112211

After upgrade to buster, a newly created profile contained:

LastVersion=68.2.0_20191022215001/20191022215001


I was able to work around the issue by hand-editing the file in the
older profile and pasting the newer version string, however:
- not all users might be savvy enough to perfom this trick
- there is still a chance I might face corruption due to using a profile
  creaed by the older version

It would be great if a version equivalent to the stretch one could be
uploaded to buster, to prevent this issue.
