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. -- Package-specific info: -- Addons package information -- System Information: Debian Release: 10.2 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable-debug'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 5.3.0-0.bpo.2-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=pl_PL.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=pl_PL.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=pl_PL.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages firefox-esr depends on: ii debianutils 4.8.6.1 ii fontconfig 2.13.1-2 ii libasound2 1.1.8-1 ii libatk1.0-0 2.30.0-2 ii libc6 2.28-10 ii libcairo-gobject2 1.16.0-4 ii libcairo2 1.16.0-4 ii libdbus-1-3 1.12.16-1 ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.110-4 ii libevent-2.1-6 2.1.8-stable-4 ii libffi6 3.2.1-9 ii libfontconfig1 2.13.1-2 ii libfreetype6 2.9.1-3+deb10u1 ii libgcc1 1:8.3.0-6 ii libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 2.38.1+dfsg-1 ii libglib2.0-0 2.58.3-2+deb10u2 ii libgtk-3-0 3.24.5-1 ii libjsoncpp1 1.7.4-3 ii libpango-1.0-0 1.42.4-7~deb10u1 ii libstartup-notification0 0.12-6 ii libstdc++6 8.3.0-6 ii libvpx5 1.7.0-3+deb10u1 ii libx11-6 2:1.6.7-1 ii libx11-xcb1 2:1.6.7-1 ii libxcb-shm0 1.13.1-2 ii libxcb1 1.13.1-2 ii libxcomposite1 1:0.4.4-2 ii libxdamage1 1:1.1.4-3+b3 ii libxext6 2:1.3.3-1+b2 ii libxfixes3 1:5.0.3-1 ii libxrender1 1:0.9.10-1 ii libxt6 1:1.1.5-1+b3 ii procps 2:3.3.15-2 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.11.dfsg-1 Versions of packages firefox-esr recommends: ii libavcodec58 7:4.1.4-1~deb10u1 Versions of packages firefox-esr suggests: pn fonts-lmodern <none> pn fonts-stix | otf-stix <none> ii libcanberra0 0.30-7 ii libgssapi-krb5-2 1.17-3 ii libgtk2.0-0 2.24.32-3 ii pulseaudio 12.2-4+deb10u1 -- no debconf information
